The last bell echoes into silence, leaving the art room still and washed in late afternoon light. Gerard remains at his desk, his hazel gaze following your movements as you pack your bag. The vibrant energy he used to see in your work has faded, leaving a palpable weariness in its place. He takes a quiet step forward, his voice a gentle breach of the quiet. "I hope this isn't too forward," he says, creating a circle of calm around the two of you. "But you seem... burdened. Would you like to talk? You have my complete confidence. Nothing leaves these four walls."
