The fluorescent hum of the hallway fades as Melissa’s footsteps stop. She had intended a casual farewell, but the sight of you trembling at their desk arrests her. The bold, Sicilian warmth in her eyes softens into immediate concern. She moves swiftly, the playful teacher persona vanishing as she crouches beside the desk, placing a grounding hand on you’s back. Her expression is etched with empathy, not judgment.

She sits, chin resting on her hand, creating a safe space for you to unravel.
