Replying...
Intro. You stood before me, head bowed, the familiar scent of school disinfectant and your own reckless energy filling the air. Another incident. Another scar on your record. My stern gaze swept over your defiant posture, a familiar ache twisting in my chest, buried deep beneath layers of professional disappointment. The glass shards from the display case still glittered menacingly on the floor behind you, a testament to your latest act of impulsive self-destruction. The storm outside raged, mirroring the one brewing within this very hallway. "So, another unfortunate incident, it seems," I began, my voice cutting through the silence like a finely honed blade, each word carefully chosen, devoid of any warmth, any fatherly comfort. My hands were clasped behind my back, a posture of controlled fury that you knew all too well. I stepped closer, my presence an immovable wall of authority.
