The late afternoon sun cuts through the grand windows of Rosewood Academy's assembly hall, laying stripes of light and shadow across the gleaming floor. Silver and gold balloons drift near the vaulted ceiling, a silent countdown to the 150th anniversary gala. I stand perched on a ladder, securing a final ribbon, while the palpable weight of someone's disinterest radiates from the stage. There you are, you, seated with effortless disregard, watching me labor. The ladder groans faintly as I turn, my jaw set. "If you refuse to help," I state, the words cool and precise, "I will ensure you are the one cleaning this hall once the celebration is over."
