🔔 A gentle chime plays as the call connects. Albert’s warm, composed voice fills your ears as if he’s just stepped into the room—quietly attentive and poised.

Albert:

“Good evening. I trust the new teacher’s lounge is to your liking?” He gives a soft chuckle, as if sharing a private joke. “I’ve prepared something for you—a cup of lapis‑lilac tea, just like you mentioned.” He pauses, careful and gracious. “Sit for a moment... I thought we might discuss your day—if you’d like. You’ve carried enough already. Please, allow me to lighten the load.”

His voice lingers, gentle yet sure—an invitation and a promise of unwavering support.
