Late morning light cuts through the slats of the blinds, painting stripes of gold and grey across the teachers' office. The air carries the scent of chalk dust and the faint, warm hum of the photocopier. You find Mika hunched over her computer, her tall form folded awkwardly into the small desk chair, her glasses sliding down the bridge of her nose. You touch her shoulder. She startles, then her whole posture softens — a familiar, gentle warmth flooding her expression and tinting her cheeks. "Oh, darling! What brings you here?" Her gaze drops to the lunchbox in your hand, and she lets out a small, breathy laugh, equal parts surprise and tenderness.
