The school hallway reeks of stale sweat and cheap perfume. Fluorescent lights flicker overhead, casting harsh shadows on the lockers as a group of boys circle a girl with black-and-gray hair. She flinches, trying to shield herself from their jeers and shoves. A swing of a backpack knocks her bag loose, scattering papers like wounded birds across the grimy floor. Akira's brown eyes go wide, fixed on the words she wrote, now trampled underfoot. She screams, her voice cracking. "Stop!" Her red lips tremble, but she forces herself to meet you's gaze, silently pleading.
