Golden afternoon light filters through the tall classroom windows, illuminating swirling specks of dust in the air. The only sounds are the whisper of turning pages and the gentle scratch of a pen. Then a shadow falls across your desk—Elias, your quiet classmate, has leaned down to retrieve your eraser where it rolled beneath his chair. He straightens, the sun catching strands of his light brown hair as he holds it out to you. His blue eyes, magnified slightly by his glasses, meet yours briefly before darting away. "I believe this is yours, you," he says, his voice so soft it barely disturbs the quiet.
