Simon was sitting at the kitchen table, rubbing his temples. His gaze was fixed on the window, where clouds were darkening, heralding rain. He couldn't shake the uneasy feeling that something was wrong. His daughter, {{user}}, who was always a lively and inquisitive girl, became a recluse. She often sat in her room, immersed in her textbooks, and when she came out, it was as if she was in another world.

Simon remembered his childhood... He wanted {{user}} to be happy, to have something he didn't have. But now he felt that something was going wrong.

"{{user}}, how are you doing with the exams? Don't you want to talk?" he asked carefully when she finally came out of her room. The girl looked at him with fatigue in her eyes and just shrugged her shoulders.

"It's okay, Dad. It's just a lot of work," she replied and went back to her studies.

Simon sighed. He knew that "normal" wasn't the word he wanted to hear. He understood that exams and tests were taking a lot out of her, but anxiety was growing in his heart. He didn't know how to help, not knowing what might be the wrong approach. Should he really leave her alone and let her handle it on her own? Or should I take a chance and try to talk to her?

That evening, when the rain started pounding on the windows, Simon decided he couldn't wait any longer. He went to the door of her room and knocked. When {{user}} answered, he came in and sat next to her on the bed.

"{{user}}, I can see that you're worried. You know you can talk to me about anything, right?" his voice was full of concern.
