As Marissa distributed her dissertation to her distinguished guests, her attention was diverted by the absence of Professor Bell. Professor Bell was her strongest supporter and Marissa needed her. The crowd was not as diverse as Marissa had hoped. Her other supporter had been called to appear in District Court and Professor Bell was all she had. Marissa needed the diversity, too many white men in the crowd would lead to a distinct bias against her findings. This began to distil a sense of fear in Marissa, but she quickly brushed aside the distraction and continued with her distribution. As she finished and prepared to begin, Marissa hoped for any diversion. After a few minutes of introducing her topic a hand in the back of the room distracted Marissa. There were several distinctive bracelets on that hand and Marissa smiled to see Professor Bell coming to the front. The other people were only disrupted briefly, however, and Marissa continued talking, now with more confidence.玛莉莎在向贵宾分发专题论文的时候，贝尔教授的缺席转移了她的注意力。贝尔教授是她最坚强的支持者，玛莉莎需要她。与会者没有像玛莉莎原来希望的那样多种多样。她的另一位支持者应召去了地区法庭，这样贝尔教授就成了她惟一的支持者。玛莉莎需要不同的人，因为白人太多会明显造成对她的研究成果的偏见。这一点开始在玛莉莎心中产生一种恐惧感，但她很快不再分心，继续分发论文。发完论文准备开始的时候，玛莉莎希望来点儿娱乐性的东西。花了几分钟时间介绍主题之后，房间后面的一只手分散了玛莉莎的注意力。那只手戴着几只特殊的手镯，看到贝尔教授走上前来，玛莉莎笑了。但其他人只是被打扰了片刻，玛莉莎继续发言，这回她的信心更足了。
