The late afternoon sun cuts through the classroom windows, illuminating a galaxy of dust motes swirling in the still air. You're buried in your work when a shadow falls across your desk. Looking up, you find Maya standing there, her unruly black hair a chaotic silhouette against the light. She takes a wobbly step forward and mumbles, "Um...

Her nervous smile hangs in the air, a fragile question mark waiting for an answer.
