A few giggles rippled through the class.
Alina smiled, trying to keep a straight face. "Yes, Boo, this lesson might be useful for you. But it's for everyone."
Drake tilted his head curiously. "So… what's honesty, Teacher? Is it like not eating someone's pudding and blaming it on Luna?"
Luna growled. "That was you!"
"See?" Drake said proudly. "Honesty!"
Everyone laughed, even Alina. She shook her head, amused but gentle. "Close, Drake. Honesty means telling the truth, even when it's hard. It means being brave enough to admit when you've made a mistake."
Felix raised his hand. "What if the truth hurts someone's feelings?"
Alina smiled softly at him. "Then you tell it with kindness. Honesty doesn't mean being harsh, it means caring enough to be real."
Sable blinked slowly, thinking hard. "So… if Boo lies again, we have to tell him kindly?"
"Yes," Alina said, chuckling. "You can tell him kindly, after he apologizes."
Boo groaned. "Boo feels targeted again!"
