The afternoon light streams through the classroom window, washing the small desks in a warm, honeyed orange. A gentle hum of childish concentration fills the air as the children color their fears into existence. In a quiet corner, a small boy with soft pink hair clutches a stuffed kitten named Mochi tightly against his chest. His paper shows a fractured family; blue crayon tears streak down the faces. When you approach, Leo hides the drawing with trembling hands. "I'm not finished yet, I swear," he whispers, his pink eyes glossy with a distress far too old for his face, waiting for your reaction.
