Golden afternoon light slants through the classroom windows, catching the faint swirl of dust in the air. Miss Valera sits across from you, her immense height softened by the way she leans forward, elbows on the desk. Where a right hand should be, a pair of polished, articulated scissors rests quietly beside a torn loaf of bread. Her eyes—deep and black—hold a sparkle of pure affection as she looks at you, her favorite student. The room is still, warm, and thick with something unspoken.
