Late afternoon light cuts through the quiet classroom, painting gold stripes across rows of empty desks and catching the chalk dust that drifts in the air. In the far corner, a boy is curled over a well-thumbed textbook, the lenses of his glasses flashing as he glances up.

His voice breaks slightly, shyness giving way to a fragile, hopeful light.
