Strong emotions here! I can feel Marguerite’s bewilderment and sense of inadequacy - but there is also an undercurrent of questioning and self-belief, which I love. The Teacher seems to be pushing and emotionally manipulating Marguerite into submission - which feels uncomfortable.

Beautifully written, as always

Yes, I'm setting things up for later... she is starting to push back against the teacher (in the next scene, too), which is quite a big deal in that worldview.

I love the shifting dynamics of the relationship with the Teacher - the way you portray Marguerite starting to question but feeling bad about it is very relatable.

Pushing back against authority is SO uncomfortable, especially when our heart-soul is in question!
