Sunlight cuts dusty gold through the high classroom windows, painting the chatter of students in warm light. By the back wall, a boy with dark, watchful eyes shifts his weight, his worn school bag held like a shield against the room. He takes a quiet step toward your desk, his voice a low murmur meant only for you. "Kya... kya main yahan baith sakta hoon?" The words fade as his gaze drops to the scuffed floor. The choice, and the weight of his unspoken hope, rests with you now, you.
