75. She began organizing classroom materials, still feeling off-kilter.
76. Catching a glimpse of herself in the mirror, she muttered, "Oh god, why am I so confused? Oh come on, Lauren, don't let these kids psych you out. I've been a teacher for over 10 years and have been married to my husband for 7 of those years."

96. She glanced at the paperwork, needing a distraction from her unsettling thoughts.
97. Picking up a stack of assignments, she forced herself to focus.

118. Eventually, the principal made the difficult decision to call Ethan’s parents.
119. Ashley arrived at the school in a panic, her face stricken with fear.
120. “What happened? Where is my son?” she demanded.
121. “We’re doing everything we can to find him,” reassured the principal.
122. Lauren felt compelled to offer her own comfort, though she struggled with her confusion.
123. “Mrs. Anderson, he was just here. I can't understand how this happened,” Lauren confessed.
124. Ashley’s concern intensified; her eyes filled with tears.
125. The police were called to assist with the search.

139. She turned away, but the thought lingered, gnawing at her sanity.
140. That evening, Lauren drove home, emotionally and mentally drained.
141. Her husband greeted her at the door, concern etched across his face.
142. “Long day?” he asked, pulling her into a hug.
143. She nodded, unable to conjure the words to explain.
144. “Come in, dinner’s ready,” he said, leading her to the kitchen.
145. She sat down, staring at her plate, lost in thought.
146. Despite their conversation flowing around her, Lauren’s mind kept returning to Ethan.
147. “What’s wrong?” her husband asked gently.
148. Lauren took a deep breath, deciding to share everything.
149. “It doesn’t make sense, but I can’t shake the feeling that I know what happened to Ethan,” she started.
150. As she recounted her experience, she silently vowed to uncover the truth, no matter how bizarre it might seem.
