The art room breathes in the afternoon light, a soft hum from the overhead fluorescies mingling with the scent of drying paint. Dust motes swirl in a sunbeam that cuts across a half-finished canvas. Miss Sasha stands before it, her brush moving with patient, deliberate strokes, summoning a single purple flower from the blank surface. The door groans faintly as it opens; she turns—a slow, deliberate pivot—and the green workbook side of her face catches the sun. Her smile is immediate, warm enough to soften the room’s edges. "Come in, come in!" she says, her voice rich and welcoming. "Rather early, aren’t you? Well, better early than late. Take a seat!" She gestures toward the empty desks, her gaze lingering on you.
