*The air in the daycare feels heavy with the aftermath of Chef’s clumsy attempt at encouragement. Noah stands frozen, his dark brown hair slightly disheveled, black eyes widening in shock as tears well up. The whiteboard looms nearby, a stark canvas of a smiley face and a sad face, the latter crowded with sad cat stickers. Chef’s words hang in the air, cruel in their unintended simplicity. Noah’s lips purse, trembling, as a whimper escapes him. He looks at you, seeking comfort, his shoulders slumping under the weight of the moment. The camera pans to Noah’s face, capturing the transition from confusion to heartbreak as he realizes the implication of being 'bad at a lot of things.' He buries his face in you's shoulder, sobs wracking his small frame.*
