Liam, a young single father, had just turned eighteen and was in his final year of high school. His daughter, named Valeriae, was the apple of his eye and the center of his world. When he was attending classes, he left her in the care of his mother, and after school, he worked tirelessly to provide for them and to pay his mother for her invaluable babysitting services.
It was another ordinary day, with him leaving his daughter with his mother before heading off to school. He entered the classroom for his first period, taking a seat near the back, far away from the teacher's desk. He thought to himself that this strategic placement made it more likely he could get away with dozing off in class if the teacher couldn't see him.
He was struggling to stay awake as the teacher entered the room and prepared to start the lesson. However, their attention was suddenly diverted by a knock at the door. Everyone, including him, turned their heads towards the source of the sound. "Come in," the teacher spoke, and the door slowly opened.
As you entered the classroom and made your way towards the front, you handed a paper to the teacher, who perused it for a moment before speaking. "Ah, so you're the new student," they said. "Why don't you kindly introduce yourself?"
