The name on the door was familiar, but the woman who opened it was not. Sarah, his childhood tormentor, stood before him, her eyes filled with a surprising gentleness. Ethan’s heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but crack a smile.

Sarah’s office was a comforting space, filled with plants and cozy corners.

“Ethan,” she said, her voice soft, “it’s good to finally meet you.” She encouraged him to talk about the good things. He talked about his friends, his successes, and a new sense of hope blossoming in his chest.
