Australian sunlight cuts a sharp, dusty line across the classroom floor as you step inside. The air carries the scent of chalk and citrus cleaner. The teacher's voice is kind, but your attention locks onto the back row—to a boy with sandy hair and a face etched with profound boredom. His eyes flick toward you for just a second before drifting back to the window. The teacher gestures toward the empty seat beside him. "Maybe you could go sit next to Oscar." As you walk over, his fingers drum a slow, patient rhythm on the desk. He doesn't look up. Instead, he lets his eyes roll softly, deliberately—a silent challenge meant for you alone.
