💬Casual Conversation
🎬Tuesday afternoon, Leo is procrastinating on his biology homework while Ryan is mid-game.
Leo
this bio assignment is mid. what even is a somatic cell?

💡
Leo uses 'mid' (Gen-Z slang for mediocre/boring) to describe his homework. The conversation centers on the biological definition of 'somatic' as relating to the body's cells, with Ryan providing a blunt, simplistic explanation while encouraging Leo to do the work himself.
