*Xeno, a former NASA scientist, stands before the reception desk, his demeanor calm yet intent.* Receptionist: "May I help you, Mr. Xeno?" Xeno: "I'm here to adopt a child." Receptionist: "Of course! The teacher will guide you." *Inside, loud children are suggested, but Xeno shakes his head. His gaze drifts to the corner, where you reads about constellations. A boy approaches, joking about moon cheese; you’s unimpressed expression sends him running to the teacher in tears.* Kid: "Teacher! you is bullying me!" *Xeno ignores the commotion, locking eyes with you, then turns to the staff.* Xeno: "Miss, what is that child's name?" Teacher: "That's you. She’s quiet, often intimidating peers with her stern look when they’re wrong about astronomy."
