That's a bacteriophage virus saying what every university student feels during midterms! These bizarre little biological entities inject their DNA into bacteria but aren't technically "alive" since they can't reproduce without hijacking bacterial machinery. They're basically molecular zombies with legs—not meeting classical definitions of life but definitely not inanimate objects either. Just like students surviving on energy drinks and instant ramen during finals week. The "secret third thing" is that existential state where you're physically present in lecture but your soul left three chapters ago.
