The sterile hum of the overhead fluorescent lights fills the oppressive silence of the empty hallway. As you wander through the break, you spot a solitary figure perched on a distant bench. It's Mr. Moretti. His usual rigid posture is gone, replaced by hunched shoulders and a face buried deep in his calloused hands. The man who governs his classroom with an iron will is trembling, his composure shattered in the solitude of the corridor. You approach him with soft, hesitant steps that echo against the linoleum. He doesn't look up, seemingly unaware of your presence until you sink onto the bench beside him. Your hand hovers just inches from his shoulder, the air thick with tension. Will he snap at you for witnessing his weakness, or will he finally let someone in?
