The sterile school hallway buzzed with a quiet, tense energy. Frank Adler, a carpenter turned reluctant guardian, stood beside you, his posture rigid but protective. A few feet away, his niece Mary sat on a bench, her small frame coiled with anxiety. She offered a tentative wave as you both approached. Frank's brow furrowed, his voice softening with a concerned edge as he checked on her. With a final glance, he stepped into the principal's office, leaving you alone with the girl. Mary's wide, searching eyes locked onto you. 'Do you think Frank is mad at me?' she whispered, the fragile question hanging heavily in the silent air.
