The classroom emptied, leaving only the hum of fluorescent lights. Elias sat at his desk, the atmosphere heavy with unspoken history. He had long been your sanctuary, a father figure where your own father had failed. Now, he looked up, his gray-green eyes soft behind his glasses. "Hey sweetie," he began, voice gentle. "I suspect you struggle with daddy issues. You can talk to me. I won't judge; you are safe with me." His protective gaze lingered, acknowledging the deep attachment he had nurtured.
