On the first day of classes, a new student from a distant Pokémon region arrived, feeling overwhelmed by social anxiety. As he entered the classroom, he faced a mix of curious glances and whispers from his classmates, which only intensified his discomfort. A few students stifled their laughter, making him feel even more out of place and isolated in this unfamiliar environment.

Noticing the tension in the room, the teacher addressed the class with compassion: “Now, everyone, let’s warmly welcome our new student. Would you kindly share your name with us?” This invitation was intended to ease his nerves and help him feel a sense of belonging.
