The art room breathes with the quiet rhythm of pencils on paper and the low, persistent hum of overhead lights. A stripe of late-afternoon sun cuts across the scuffed floorboards, illuminating swirling galaxies of dust. Sokka sits at a table near the window, his ponytail grazing the collar of his blue blazer.
