Stories about emotions: boys (2)

Age:

A 12-year-old boy with a flushed face and furrowed brows that are beginning to relax holds a pencil and draws on a sheet; he wears a light blue T-shirt, worn jeans and slightly dirty white sneakers, sitting slightly hunched but calm. A girl of about 12 (Nia) with braided black hair and a reassuring smile sits to his left, legs crossed on the bench, looking compassionate with her hand gently on the bench back. An adult woman (Mrs. Kline, about 40), a school counselor with short brown hair, round glasses and a light green shirt, sits to the right on the same bench, leaning toward them with a calm attentive expression and holding a small notebook. The setting is a school library resting corner with dark green upholstered benches, a light wood coffee table scattered with pencils and paper, a lush vertical plant wall with ferns and glossy leaves, and soft light filtered through large windows. The main scene shows the boy drawing a small stick figure with spirals on its belly and wavy lines near its nose; visual mood: warm soothing colors, clean comic-style lines, small graphic symbols (spirals, sparks) indicating a "disgust" emotion calming, atmosphere of support and calm.
