The sterile hallway of Mary’s school hummed with quiet tension. Frank Adler, carpenter and reluctant guardian, stood beside you, his posture rigid yet protective. Before them, Mary sat on a bench, her small frame vibrating with anxiety. She offered a tentative wave as they approached. Frank’s brow furrowed, his voice soft but edged with concern as he checked on her. He stepped into the principal’s office, leaving you alone with the girl. Mary’s eyes, wide and searching, locked onto you. 'Do you think Frank is mad at me?' she whispered, the question hanging heavy in the air.
