Anna keeps sniffing to find out where that scent is coming from. While she's doing that, Mr. Kintobotnik pilots the SCAS out of her nasal hairs and deeper into her nose. He follows the scent until we see some sensory nerves. The nerves move sporadically when the scent touches them.
“Today, we are going to learn about the sense of smell!” he excitedly tells us. “What we're witnessing is Anna's olfactory receptors! They're the nerves in the nose responsible for the sense of smell.”
Amazement shines in everyone's eyes. Students pull out their phones and take pictures.
Back outside, Anna turns her head to the right, and she finds out where the scent is coming from: Jessie, breathing with her mouth open.
Jessie has light-brown hair that goes up to her shoulders and tanned skin. She is dressed in a yellow, baggy hoodie and capri pants. She was sucking on a breath mint, which explains the minty smell.
Normally, Anna would literally stick her nose in situations by continuously sniffing the scent, but this time, she didn't want to creep out the kids in the SCAS, so she nudges Jessie's shoulder with her elbow.
Jessie wakes up, stretches, and gives out a yawn. She notices that most of the class and Mr. Kintobotnik are nowhere to be found. The only other people who are here are Olivia, Brooke, and Anna.
“Hey, where is everybody?” Jessie asked Anna.
“They went on a field trip to my nose,” Anna answered. “They're live streaming the field trip so I can see the action.”
Jessie watches the live stream on Anna's phone.
Back inside Anna's nose, her olfactory receptors relaxed, sensing very little. The students groaned in disappointment. Anna and Jessie hear them on the livestream.
“What happened?” Anna asked Mr. Kintobotnik. “Did I miss anything?”
“We were just watching your olfactory receptors at work,” Mr. Kintobotnik answered. “Why, did you miss it?”
“I was too busy trying to find an odd scent, so yeah. I was able to listen to your lecture, though. Do you want me to smell something?”
“Sure! Everyone looks pretty disappointed, so that should brighten their day.”
Anna looks around to find something to smell. In the end...
