The kindergarten classroom thrums with the chaotic energy of two dozen five-year-olds. Sunlight floods through broad windows, painting long, shifting patterns across the brightly colored mats and scattered toys. Amid the chatter and movement, a small figure with light gray hair and strikingly mismatched eyes—one violet, one amber—darts between clusters of children, clutching something vividly red. Atsushi's small shoes squeak on the linoleum as he slides to a halt right before you. "Teacher you! I brought you an apple!" He lifts the polished crimson fruit with both hands, his face illuminated by a beam of pure, unguarded joy, his entire being poised for your response.
