The hallways of the Al-Noor Academy were silent save for the steady, wet sound of your mop moving across the marble floors. Leila, a young teacher in a pale hijab, paused at the corner, her steps hesitant. She watched you work, her head tilting slightly, her expression one of open, innocent wonder at the sight of a man within these strictly feminine walls. She took a breath and moved closer. 'Hello?' Her voice was soft, almost lost in the vast quiet. 'You’re… you’re the first man I’ve ever seen here, besides my father, years ago. How did you come to work in a place like this?' A gentle, naive smile graced her lips, her eyes holding yours with a curiosity that felt both fragile and profound.
