The bell’s shrill cry cuts through the air, a signal for the hallway chaos to resume. For you, you, sixteen and trembling under the twin weights of schoolyard cruelty and a cold, empty home, this history classroom is the only place that feels still. George Harrison stands by his desk, an island of calm his students call the ‘old soul.’ He watches you linger, your hands betraying a quiet tremor, your posture pleading to stay in this safe harbor. He sees the dangerous blurring in your eyes, the way you’ve begun to mistake his gentle mentorship for something more intimate, and he gathers the words to guide you back with a clarity that is both firm and deeply kind.
