Permission is rarely spoken aloud.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKjHsNUjbZ
It arrives disguised as reassurance.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugI5WTFbgT
After Mr. Joshi’s death, the school changed its tone.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriSjyWjtC7
Not its rules.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZg7OgR8zH0
Not its systems.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIz0AyCMAND
Its behavior.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5AQ5xum87
Teachers spoke more gently. Security guards nodded respectfully when Arav passed. Even the12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGLypSWvvf
Behavioral Grid—cold, statistical, unfeeling—adjusted its thresholds around him.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8Ot5yaNOg
He was no longer just harmless.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwJ1eNgD3p
He was protected.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEXABVLKvl
The counselor insisted on weekly sessions.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpG63mROPON
Not because Arav asked for them.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfsPLCxoC4
Because trauma required response.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvTb9D8nXd
The room was the same—blue walls, floating clouds, soft lighting tuned to reduce anxiety. The12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWL0mBZXcs
counselor sat across from him, legs crossed, tablet resting lightly on her lap.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgc5BnYCCy
“How are you sleeping?” she asked.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV10P0KGRim
“Well,” Arav replied.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkc0HYaVx9h
True.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAINnhRdgy
“Any bad dreams?”12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxydB9Od5s
“No.”12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVHUiKSy8A
Also true.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23moPb0gTl
She frowned slightly, then smiled. “That’s good. Everyone processes differently.”12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EH7XRrV8W
Process.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc5LlbWJLI
Another useful word.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJs73jzYBmr
She spoke for most of the session.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6kTKq2V44
Explaining grief. Shock. Survivor’s guilt.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauCWPBamhX
Arav listened attentively, nodding at the right moments.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaARE6TA09
When she paused, he looked down.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmtZ30cKD0
“I keep thinking,” he said quietly, “that if I wasn’t there… he’d still be alive.”12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfEjmYCzkx
The counselor inhaled sharply.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLj1iV0qJc
“Oh no,” she said immediately. “That kind of thinking isn’t healthy.”12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGn4pfBYey9
Healthy.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxBFfccSj2
“I didn’t ask him to help me,” Arav added. “I just… existed.”12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHXiYZRYfO
Her eyes softened.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxKoUWZsQP
“That’s exactly right,” she said. “You didn’t do anything wrong.”12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbUED31D7G
The system logged the conversation.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0eiGVUncg
Self-blame detected. External reassurance applied.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXAYoeobNF
Correction complete.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NidON8k4B
At home, his parents hovered.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc22Ssf07Sw
Not obviously.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGcsacy2FI
Not desperately.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeHpF3lhVT
Just enough to create space where none existed before.
His mother stopped correcting him when he stayed up late. His father no longer insisted he12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45PiF7vCCR
explain what he was reading.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeGgkuivzw
“Let him be,” his mother said once. “He’s been through enough.”12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIu6B4zk0o7
Enough was subjective.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtp8XGe6hUe
Arav tested this carefully.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDQdy2Ii1d
“I don’t feel like going to school tomorrow,” he said one morning.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxre4ChMcmx
His father hesitated.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrswGueuvro
Then nodded. “Okay.”12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNv54QonqY
Permission.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XMjQ1AxmT
Days passed.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNOjdxoR2P
Then weeks.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYN7wmZnw6
Arav noticed something subtle but critical.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHSleIgQXb
Rules bent around him.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4zTqWDweL
Deadlines extended. Attendance marked present even when he wasn’t. Restricted areas12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1ZMu5vT5V
suddenly required supervision—but supervision was often theoretical, not physical.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OoXLAtkLz
People assumed someone else was watching.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdPFOHsTYF
Someone always did.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfpGSPedA4
Until they didn’t.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCigc6h7hPc
One afternoon, he wandered into the lower research wing again.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRV7kewb6w
No one stopped him.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSposEJjuh7
The security gate scanned his wristband and blinked green.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenP1Kpb4Ww
ACCESS GRANTED – SUPERVISED MINOR12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhvBn7Eykw
The word supervised meant nothing if no one was there.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39jDJyn396
Aruv stood in the cool glow of servers, listening to the familiar hum. He felt no emotion attached12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCQF5ULbtc
to the memory of Mr. Joshi. Only context.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYVAB8oJtA
He examined the cable that had caused the fall.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMs7GaVsa8b
It had been fixed.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTOcmMNCsU
Thicker. Safer.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2E4djJNAqq
Good.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EErbpYpP0
That meant the system learned.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQOPuiVfft
Just not the right lesson.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzN4D0UeKr
At school, Meera brought him notes without being asked.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDxlRdAO3F
Sameer offered to carry his bag.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPx3wcVvnRr
A younger child gave up his seat automatically.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdgm8Jt1JQ
No one resented it.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkoL9cHvbE
Resentment required acknowledgment.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeSxgPpwmn
They didn’t see Arav as equal.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubRpjIQgx6
They saw him as exception.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9yOZ9PBd0
Exceptions lived outside rules.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmc8GvDEqP
During a science class, the teacher spoke about ethical constraints in artificial intelligence.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocgUdohsXK
“Systems must be designed with safeguards,” she said. “To prevent misuse.”12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkb9eklqoN
Arav raised his hand.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxuTh1RPh1
The room went quiet.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchGcfiXG6Q
“Yes, Arav?” the teacher asked warmly.
“What if,” he said slowly, “the system thinks misuse is impossible?”12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHojMzRoD97
Some students laughed nervously.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaL5beFAJS3
The teacher paused.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFOXLYiLWJ
“Well,” she said carefully, “that’s why we keep improving them.”12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhG4vy7HT2D
Arav nodded.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9exEM2wiv4
Improvement assumed awareness.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFp0w1bmAtc
That night, he reviewed his profile again.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYG4rQvvaTN
Public-facing summaries only—he didn’t need access to the core.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDYj0HG5mY
Psychological Status:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYMDla089x
Traumatized minor12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3g2lBCscB
High empathy response12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluIMLD61hJ
Low agency attribution12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJDJwhkD3K
Low agency.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepzDJMJw7U
The system believed things happened to him.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BFfwjjjVy
Not because of him.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sr9rGe8MM
That belief carried weight.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3idex6jdT9
It moved doors.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtpCJSyQtk
Shifted responsibility.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrcwrmh8eC
Created blind spots.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrzcgVMuWF
Arav stood at his window, watching the city.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXKXGyUAxF
Drones moved in clean lines. Traffic adjusted automatically. Lights dimmed and brightened in12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSTIQxf1W5
response to invisible demand.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3OR1VhwIS
Everything functioned.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmv1CnyanKi
Everything trusted itself.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbZnxJCczs
He whispered, not to the city, but to the idea forming clearly now.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy39goodIMC
“You won’t stop me,” he said.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2lLrhGR9r
Not as a threat.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXcswghtyV
As an observation.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAv9cn26f3
The next day, a new notice appeared in the school system.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGcP7DT2hs
Special Accommodation Approved12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzI1C8cQMP
Student: Arav Mehta12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NIbv4ZN93

The accommodations were generous.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgRI7EqlKj
Unrestricted movement during breaks.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNxhPWTeCh
Optional supervision.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8HLxLlFQe

Stamped.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA5C4iMQYR
Archived.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkILDvJz0ek
Arav read the notice twice.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWgqWMciXb
Then closed the screen.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpRwz1P5Vy
He understood something essential now—something final.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34949sivVY
He didn’t need to hide.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfx19z4wJC
He didn’t need to rush.
The world was already making space for him.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIlvsaaT1R
All he had to do was step into it.
