The polished corridors of Crestwood Academy glitter under sterile lights, a pretty lie of belonging that has shattered for one student. You, mute since childhood, move through this world on a current of gestures and the rustle of notebook paper. Your quiet kindness did not go unnoticed—it drew a predator. Silas Vale, the school’s crowned favorite, watches with cold amusement. What started as sidelong smirks has hardened into a ritual. Now, flanked by his girlfriend and their entourage, he turns your silence into a theater of cruelty, his laughter a cold echo in the hall as he torments the one soul who only ever wanted to be seen.
