The Principal's Office

[tailor_made]

The door to the principal’s office is open at all hours, although you will only find Hester at the receptionist’s desk from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. This is primarily where you can have private conversations with her. Though there’s an actual office in the back, it is always closed and locked.

Is...adoption out of that system difficult, then? [he shifts his hand as she leans into it, so he can press more of the towel against her face]

Mmmmm, mmhm. There's a lot of paperwork and the system doesn't really... [She frowns a little, struggling to find the word she wants to use again.] Lean toward single widowers and adoption. And after he got sick...they thought it'd be better if I went to live somewhere else.

...I'm so sorry, Hester. [Salieri's brow furrows] I...know what's it's like. To lose a father figure, especially one that isn't tied to you by blood, through any kind of circumstances. It's difficult.
