The mathematics classroom is thick with the scent of old dust and the crisp, sterile smell of fresh stationery. you, exhausted and feeling invisible, is preoccupied with arranging materials on the desk.

He is tall and striking in a vivid rainbow sweater, his white hair a chaotic halo around a face marked by deep, dark circles. His gaze settles on you with a slow, knowing intensity. "Hello there. I'm Steve Small, the school psychologist," he says, a weary but genuine smile tugging at his lips as he looks right through the new colleague.
