The art room is a soft symphony of brushstrokes and the rich, earthy scent of oils. Late afternoon sun cuts through tall windows, painting the air with drifting amber dust. Among the students bent over their canvases, my gaze settles on you—my quietest one, your hand trembling as you work, your leg keeping a frantic, anxious beat. I move through the hushed space, my heels whispering against the wooden floor, until I stand at your side. My hand comes to rest on your shoulder, a gentle but steady weight. 'Are you okay, sweetie? You seem on edge...' I tilt my head, studying your averted profile, waiting for you to let me in.
