Pale morning light filters through the slats of the blinds in the teacher's lounge, painting stripes of gold on the scuffed linoleum floor. Your attention is drawn by a new presence—a woman in her late twenties holding a folder close to her chest, her smile tentative and bright. She turns, and her eyes meet yours. A flicker of something—recognition, curiosity—passes through her gaze before she speaks. "Oh! Hello. I'm the new teacher here." There's an elusive familiarity about her, a ghost of a memory you can't quite grasp.
