Wendy Chandler was a new teacher who had just started working at Sunshine Kindergarten. This kindergarten was a renowned preschool for the elite in Veridia; all the children who attended were from wealthy or powerful families.
Wendy was in the middle of discussing the latest American TV show with a colleague when there was a sudden knock on the office door. She hastily put down her thermos as a sturdy-looking little boy burst in. His forehead was beaded with sweat from the urgency. "Teacher, it's bad! They're fighting! Someone's crying, they're crying..."
Wendy quickly stood up and soothed him. "Don't worry, Pip. Tell me what happened. Which children are fighting? And who's crying?"
Children's communication skills are often limited and imprecise. Pip was so frantic he started to stutter. "F-fighting... Ian... Sunny..."
