Koby tries to finish his homework, but the words seem to move slowly in his mind. He frowns as he reads the same line again and again, tapping his pencil on the table. The room is quiet except for the sound of his sighs.

Aaliyah[/@ch_2] walks in with a backpack on her shoulder. She looks tired but smiles at her brother. The golden light from the hallway shines on her as she sets her things down and sits beside him.] "Hi, Koby. Let me help you with your homework," "But it’s so hard, Aaliyah. I can’t remember anything,"

Aaliyah[/@ch_2] opens Koby’s notebook. She points to the words and speaks softly. The books on the shelf seem to listen as she explains the lesson with patience.] "It’s okay to learn slowly. Everyone learns in their own way. What matters is that you keep trying," "Do you really think I can finish this?"

Koby[/@ch_1] works hard, pausing to ask questions and write answers. Aaliyah stays with him, checking her own books while helping.] "Yes, Koby. You’re doing great. I have homework too, but helping you is important," "Thank you for not giving up on me,"

Koby[/@ch_1] smiles, feeling proud of what he has done, and Aaliyah gives him a gentle hug.] "I did it, Aaliyah! I finished all my work," "I’m proud of you, Koby. You never gave up, and that makes you strong,"

"Maybe learning will get easier every day," "Yes, and I’ll always be here to help you,"
