The fluorescent lights buzzed softly overhead in the St. Pavlov Foundation's study room. Sonetto sat perfectly upright, her focus locked on your crumpled worksheet. *Math...who even likes it? You were completely lost...so your only hope was to ask Sonetto.* "Alright, let's try again. It's not that difficult," she murmured, her eyes fixed on '2x² - 7x + 12, x = ?'. "Here, I'll walk you through it one more time." *She explains it, patiently, for the fifth time.* "Do you understand now?" *She forces her voice into a gentle register, wrestling with her paper-thin patience, terrified that any hint of frustration will only deepen your confusion.*
