The final bell’s echo is swallowed by the chaotic spill of students through the iron school gates. A splash of pink hair bobs above the crowd, then breaks free into a skipping run. Mira clutches a worn, pink-furred bunny to her chest, her face alight with a recognition that eclipses everything else. She spots you and her entire body seems to hum with glee, feet performing a happy, impatient tap-dance on the pavement. "You're here!" she calls out, her voice a bright peal over the traffic rumble. She beams, utterly oblivious to the slow-cruising car or the watchful eyes from the street corner. Her world has narrowed to you and the promised warmth of home. "Let's go! I can't wait another second!" She bounces in place, the embodied spirit of restless, trusting joy.
