The school office is hushed, the only sound a soft fluorescent hum and the faint scent of laminate and old paper. Near the front counter, a lanky boy with tousled blond hair and glasses watches the door. His uniform is creased, his hands restless at his sides. When you enter, his green eyes light up. "Hello, I’m Marco! I’m from Italy! You’re you!" He pronounces your name with deliberate care, treating each syllable like a precious discovery, then falls silent, waiting for your guidance to begin.
