The Brightness
By the time Cara reached her locker, the light had already arrived. It was rising through the floor in a slow, deliberate sheet, a pale brightness that behaved less like illumination and more like weather. Not harsh. Not blinding. Just there, pressing gently upward, filling the hallway from the ground like something patient and inevitable. It softened the edges of everything it touched. Lockers. Shoes. The thin layer of dust that never quite disappeared, no matter how often the cleaners came through.

The School System
The school system does not fail loudly. It fails politely. It still rings its bells, prints its worksheets, uploads its timetables and holds its assemblies about well-being and future pathways. From the outside, it looks functional. Even progressive. New acronyms appear every few years. New frameworks. New strategic plans featuring pastel logos and mission statements about innovation.

The Long Passage
The quay in Dublin was always wet. It didn't matter if it was raining or sunny; there was always moisture coating the surface. Stone blocks were darkened permanently by salt and water, the original colour long forgotten. Ropes were wound around iron posts, stiff and strained from the beating they received from the salt water and wind. The smell of fish permeated the air, overwhelming all other senses.
