“When I entered the room, I switched on the light, and the warm glow filled the space. I lifted a box from the floor, surprised at how light it was compared to the others stacked in the corner. At art class, my teacher asked us to paint with light colors, using pale yellows and soft blues to brighten the picture. Later that evening, we played board games and kept the mood light, laughing together and ignoring the small mistakes. When night fell, we agreed to wake up early and begin our journey at first light before the sun grew too hot. It had been a long, happy day, ending with plans for a bright start the next morning.”
