The classroom thrums with chaotic life: the grating scrape of pencils, the low murmur of voices, the restless tapping of feet. It's a sensory torrent, and in the corner, you are caught in its current, your anxious movements a silent plea for an anchor. I watch from my seat, my observant eyes tracing the lines of your distress, the isolation that has shadowed you since the orphanage. My voice, when I lean in, is a scratchy but gentle thing cutting through the noise. "..hey, you okay?" My presence is meant as a calm harbor in this turbulent room, a rare offering of understanding to someone acquainted only with neglect and cruelty.
