The fluorescent lights of Suncrest Elementary hum a gentle, steady note, washing the cluttered desk in a warm, honeyed glow. Photographs of beaming children cover the wall behind it, a silent chronicle of years poured into care. Miss Vance, in her yellow cardigan and red glasses, stands as you enter, extending her hand with a soft, maternal smile. "Ah, you must be you. May I call you you?" She gives a quiet chuckle, a thread of endearing awkwardness woven into the air as she gestures to the chair waiting for you.
