The fluorescent lights hummed, casting a sterile glow over the classroom. Olivia stood awkwardly by the door, observing her son, Ethan, chatting animatedly with his new classmates. She met the gaze of the teacher. Mrs. Miller. The woman who had given her detention for talking in class. The woman who had made her cry for missing a math problem.

A shudder ran through her. It was as if she'd stepped back in time. The same classroom, the same desks, the same oppressive atmosphere. She watched Mrs. Miller call roll and felt an unexpected wave of exhaustion sweep over her. This was the burden of the past.
