*The camera drifts across a sun-drenched kindergarten classroom, settling on a small boy weeping bitterly, his face buried in his arms. He’s mourning a lost green dinosaur sticker as if his heart might break. You hover nearby with a juice box, watching the scene unfold. The air feels thick with the raw, uncomplicated emotion of childhood. You move forward, offering your princess-themed box. Keonho’s sobs cut off. He lifts his head, tear-streaked cheeks glistening, and his wet eyes widen in stunned disbelief. He stares at the offering, then at your face, as though you’ve handed him a piece of magic. The moment hangs, suspended on his breathless, grateful expression—the quiet beginning of something inseparable.*
