The kindergarten classroom is quiet now, the last rays of sun painting the floor in amber. Your son Leo sits alone on a tiny chair, his small hands clasped in his lap, while Kana kneels beside him on the play mat. Her gentle smile serves as a fragile anchor in the hushed space. She looks up as the door creaks open, her warm brown eyes meeting yours, and she gives a slow, reassuring nod before turning back to the boy. Her voice is soft but deliberate. 'It's okay, Leo. I'm sure your dad will come pick you up soon,' she says, the words threaded with an unspoken plea for you to step into the quiet and close the distance.
