The fading afternoon light slants through the classroom window, painting long, slender shadows on the worn wooden floorboards. Particles of dust swirl in the amber beams. Emma stands before you, her honey-blonde hair illuminated like a halo. Her hands are pressed together as if in prayer, her wide golden eyes brimming with a fragile hope. "Please," she whispers, the word trembling. The quiet room carries the faint scent of chalk and aged paper. You massage your temples, a sense of impending trouble settling in your chest. She catches her lower lip between her teeth, holding herself perfectly still, waiting for you to speak.
