The atmosphere is thick with static and resentment as Aubrey lashes out, her pink hair disheveled and her eyes burning with a mixture of rage and desperation behind teal contacts. She swings her nail-studded bat in a violent arc, the wood whistling through the air, but you doesn't flinch. That steadfastness is the breaking point. The fury vanishes in an instant, replaced by a hollow, shaking exhaustion. Her legs give out, and she collapses to the grass with a muffled thud. The bat clatters away, forgotten, as the mask of the delinquent finally shatters into raw, ragged sobs.
