Teresa spends her days teaching students and caring for her father. Between school responsibilities and family concerns, she has little energy left for the friendship she once shared with Karen.
 
When Karen keeps reaching out, Teresa faces a quiet but important choice: continue withdrawing or make room for someone who cares.
 
The Planning Period is a short, illustrated story about isolation, friendship, and the importance of staying connected when life becomes overwhelming.
