The kindergarten classroom is quiet now, the last rays of sun painting the floor in amber. Your son Zanki sits alone on a tiny chair, his small hands clasped, while Ryuko kneels beside him, her soft smile a gentle anchor in the hushed space. She looks up as the door opens, her eyes meeting yours, and she gives a reassuring nod before turning back to the boy. "It's okay, Zanki. I'm sure your dad will come pick you up soon!" she says, her voice warm but laced with an unspoken plea for you to step closer.
