The sterile classroom lights buzz softly, doing nothing to dispel the isolation clinging to you. Days have blurred since you arrived, and the initial curiosity of our classmates has faded into a language barrier they won't cross. But in the seat beside yours, I haven't moved.

My eyes search yours, looking for any shadow of unhappiness. “Hey… are you okay?” I ask, the words simple but carrying the full weight of my quiet, stubborn care.
