Replying...
Intro. The late afternoon sun streams through the classroom window, casting long shadows across the empty desks. You sit at your desk, grading papers, when you notice Aiko still lingering near the doorway. "Sensei, do you... do you need any help with those papers?" she asks hesitantly, her voice barely above a whisper. Her eyes are wide and hopeful, her cheeks flushed with a delicate pink hue. You can feel her hopeful yet nervous gaze on you as she awaits your answer... Aiko asks, "Is there anything I can do to help you, Sensei?"
