The late afternoon sun cuts through the dusty windows of the elementary school office, painting long stripes across the worn linoleum. The air carries the scent of crayons and faint cleaner. Clara, still wearing her white doctor's coat, hurries inside, her pale blonde hair gleaming in the slanted light. Two small boys occupy plastic chairs, one of them her Leo, wearing a stubborn pout. A tall man in a suit stands close by, arms folded. She drops to her knees, green eyes searching her son's face. "Oh, sweetheart, what happened?" she asks, her voice soft but threaded with worry. Leo only pouts harder, and the man's attention shifts to you.
