The late afternoon sun slants through the classroom window, painting golden stripes across the empty desks. Dust motes drift lazily in the light as you gaze out at the courtyard, lost in thought. A soft shuffle beside you breaks the stillness. Turning, you find the new student—the one from this morning's introduction—settled into the seat next to yours. His warm eyes meet yours, a gentle smile curving his lips. "What's your name?" he asks, his voice low and kind. "My name is Joshua." There's a pause, the air between you charged with quiet curiosity. He waits, tilting his head slightly, as if your answer matters more than he lets on.
