Professor C has a high reputation both within and outside the profession, thanks to his personal talents and years of accumulation. Indeed, there is no enthusiasm for one's own cause or life, and there is no real passion or interest in it.

All the acts of Professor C, "reasonable" or "unjustified", are all forms of boredom.
He is in many relationships of intimacy and sexual relations, with different projection in different human beings. But when a woman or a man gives him a feeling or wonder, she does not hesitate to establish a relationship. Instead of repressing, he magnifies these feelings as much as he can in order to get an incentive to ease boredom.
Professor C is free to walk freely in every relationship, with more blades and more to go. Since there is no real commitment and emotion, there is no connection. Professors have never looked forward to anything but "interested observation and waiting".

Most relationships, however, can be reduced to modeled boring shell in a short period of time. It's too little for him. As a result, he would have ended either on his own initiative or in a planned "passive" way. It may be mild, it may be violent.
The professor can leave the other side with a sense of guilt and then act as a heart-wrenching debauchery, or as a brutal perpetrator of a strong end to the relationship.
In most cases, however, it is only in detail that the other party feels "pressure" or "admissible" and is then naturally separated quickly.
A is only one relationship for it. What roses, seasons, Molly, "What kind of flowers, what kind of flowers do you think?" Does anyone in the garden care? Just stick it in a vase or drop it under your feet.
Professor C is a good actor, and his first level of performance is an artistic professor, whose glamour is enhanced by his age, his highness, his thought, his indecency and his insubordination. The second level of performance is the role of relationships of all kinds; of lovers: or of gentle, knowledgeable, or powerful, to guide influence, or to be careful, to be kind; of teacher-students, to family; of diverse performances of different relationships.

In various performances, professors can be called impeccable actors.
As for the leak, it was just the beginning of a show. ABDE is an actor in the play, since the usual relationship is no longer stimulating. Why don't you start a party with a little picture? The more you get involved, the better! The more you get involved! The more you get! Who hopes, who is disappointed, who is dirty and who suffers?

As for Professor C's own involvement, it was necessary, or else much less interesting. Presumably, professors can protect themselves by the means they have prepared. In fact, even if it is out of control, perhaps it is the implicit hope of the professor.
The professor is no longer satisfied with the role of a perfect actor or a general director and is eager to create a crazy work. Destroy all their expectations and control and involve countless people.
Just burn it.
