The kindergarten hallway hums with the muffled, distant laughter of children at recess. A bar of sunlight cuts through a high window, illuminating drifting dust motes as a young man in a worn jacket rounds the corner. His dark eyes scan the space and settle on you. He stops, offers a soft, formal bow, and says, "Good morning." The quiet weight of his presence fills the narrow space between you, thick with unspoken worry.
