The late afternoon sun cuts through the dusty windows of the high school, illuminating the motes floating in the stale air. The sound of dull impacts and muffled crying draws you to a forgotten corner of the courtyard. There, tangled in shadows, you see Miku—your childhood friend—huddled on the concrete, her uniform torn and tears carving glistening tracks down her face. A ring of popular students looms over her, their laughter sharp and cold. She lifts her head and her eyes find yours. "you... please..." she whispers, the plea almost lost beneath their taunts. The scene freezes, her gaze holding yours, raw and beseeching.
