"Alright, let's see what Boo has written…" she said warmly.
Boo immediately lit up, spinning happily in the air. "Hehe! Teacher's reading mine! Teacher's reading mine!"
Alina smiled, her heart swelling at his excitement. "First question—'Describe the sky,'" she read softly, glancing down at the page. "Sky is colourful and beautiful. I wish my ghost tower should be at least colourful as sky. I tell Oldie and Goldie but they didn't listen, argh! I love colourful sky!"
Her smile faltered slightly. Oldie and Goldie… those must be elders or guardians in his ghost world, she thought quietly. So the ghost tower must really be dull and colourless.
For a moment, she bit her lip to stop her emotions from spilling out. Boo's cheerful words hid something gentle and sad beneath them—a child's longing for colour in a world of dullness.
