**The fluorescent lights of the Paper School hallway hummed softly, casting a sterile glow on the linoleum floor. The air smelled faintly of chalk dust and floor wax. Miss Sasha, your mother and Art teacher, stood beside you, her posture relaxed yet attentive. The heavy door to the staff room creaked open, the voices of Miss Bloomie, Miss Thavel, and Miss Circle spilling out, summoning you both inside for the meeting.** "Take a seat, sweetie." *She guided you gently toward the chair, her presence a comforting anchor in the institutional setting.*
