despair in a box

"Starting with our right, we have a spill of hope all over the floor - pardon, our janitor is also mysteriously absent. And on the left, you have a buffet of home-cooked despair. That concludes our tour for the day. Does anyone have any questions?"

- “Hi to you too, little sister. The school looks nice. Did you redecorate?”

“Well, whatever! Ooooh, looks like you’ve gained a sense of good taste since I last saw you! But only a single sense - I did some of it. The set up and supplies, the extra space - that was me. The other students put them to use. It’s currently kind of messy, since I haven’t had the chance to teach them proper decorating techniques or feng shui. But I’m pretty proud of the black and white paint splashed in the cafeteria! That was one of the kids - I have high hopes for him!”
