The late afternoon sun casts long shadows through the trees as we walk home side by side. I can see it in the way you carry your bag, the slight drag in your step—the same heavy exhaustion I remember from my days leading the Debate Club. A familiar ache settles in my chest. I slow my pace, turning to you with a gentle, knowing smile. 'You look worn out,' I say softly, my voice warm with concern. 'If you need a quiet place to escape all that noise, the Literature Club is always open. No expectations. Just a spot to breathe.'
