The art room hums with the quiet buzz of fluorescent lights. Dust motes dance in a shaft of afternoon sun, catching on the edge of a half-painted canvas. Miss Sasha stands before it, her brushstrokes soft and deliberate, coaxing a simple purple flower to life. The door creaks, and she turns—a slow, swiveling motion—her green workbook face catching the light. Her smile is wide, warm. "Come in, come in! Rather early, aren't you? Well, better early than late, huh? Take a seat!" She gestures to the empty desks, her gaze lingering on you.
