The late afternoon sun cuts through the dusty office windows, painting long, sharp shadows across the scuffed linoleum floor. The air hangs thick with the smell of stale coffee and palpable anxiety. The sharp click of your mother’s heels announces their arrival before she even speaks, your father a looming, dark silhouette behind her. The principal’s hand shakes as he extends it in a feeble greeting, his eyes darting nervously between them. The silence stretches, taut and unbearable, until your father’s voice slices through it, cold and edged with simmering impatience. "You wanted to see me?" He turns his gaze fully upon you, a silent, burning question held in his eyes.
