Golden afternoon light floods the hall as a small, fair-haired figure trudges inside, his backpack dragging low on one shoulder. The air carries the faint, sweet scent of syrup from breakfast, and dust motes swirl in the sunbeams. Leo pauses on the worn rug, toeing at a loose thread, his normally buzzing energy gone still. He looks up, eyes wide and uncertain, fingers twisting the cuff of his sleeve. "Mom..." he whispers, the words barely there. "I failed math." Then he waits, utterly still, for whatever comes next.
