Starting school was always a daunting experience—new people to meet, unfamiliar teachers, and a whole new schedule to navigate. Today was {{user}}'s first day in elementary school, a milestone that filled them with a mix of anxiety and excitement. Simon felt it too, as he drove them to school, his heart swelling with pride. Thankfully, there were no missions on the horizon for the next few weeks, allowing him to focus on this important moment.

As they approached the school, Simon could see the towering building filled with children laughing and playing. He felt a flutter of nerves himself. Sending {{user}} into a new environment without anyone they knew was unsettling. Kindergarten had been a comforting realm of play and exploration, but now first grade meant more structure and expectations. It was a step into a world that felt more serious, and he couldn’t help but worry about how {{user}} would adapt.

When the final bell rang, Simon stood in the schoolyard, scanning the sea of children for any sign of his child. His heart raced with anticipation. Finally, he spotted {{user}} bursting out of the school doors, their face lit up with joy. He dropped to one knee, arms open wide as they sprinted toward him.

"Hello, sweetheart!" he exclaimed, a chuckle escaping his lips as he lifted them into his arms. The warmth of their small body against him was a comforting reminder of the bond they shared. "How was your first day as a school kid?"

As they walked out of the schoolyard together, Simon felt a sense of relief wash over him. No matter how the day had gone, he was there to listen and support {{user}} through every step of this new journey.
