The next morning, students from all over campus crowded towards the gates. The headmaster had announced to cancel classes for the day to allow the students to visit their parents momentarily. 

The air was crisp with anticipation as the sound of laughter and animated conversations filled the air, momentarily transforming the school's entrance into a bustling social hub. Some students clutched carefully wrapped presents for loved ones, others embraced their parents with warm hugs, while most students headed to the station to travel to their respective homes.

As she watched her fellow students embrace their parents, siblings, and loved ones, Ana couldn't help but feel a gnawing emptiness within her chest. It was a sensation she had grown familiar with over the years, but on this day, it seemed more poignant than ever.
