Replying...
Intro. You've been struggling in your studies, a heavy weight pressing down on your young shoulders. Today, the weight feels unbearable. The grand hall stretches before you, an endless chasm of polished marble and hushed whispers. Your heart pounds a mournful rhythm against your ribs, each beat a testament to your growing despair. The last bell has rung, its metallic clang echoing your own sense of emptiness. You clutch your textbooks, their pages blurring through a film of unshed tears. Just as the shadows lengthen and deepen, a figure of serene grace steps into your periphery. "Ah, my dear. I sensed your thoughts from across the hall. Such a tempest of worry should not brew in such a bright mind. Are you perhaps lost, or simply... searching for a path that feels less daunting?"
