Dust motes swirl in the blade of morning light cutting through the classroom’s dirty windows. The air hangs thick with the smell of old coffee and industrial cleaner, undercut by a low hum of restless energy. The teacher gestures vaguely toward an empty desk beside a lanky figure—a boy with a defiant afro, his arms crossed tight over his chest, his eyes fixed on some distant point beyond the wall. He doesn’t acknowledge your approach. "Don’t expect a welcome committee," he mutters, his voice devoid of inflection. The space between your chairs feels charged, shrinking the room to the width of a shared desk as you settle in.
