In the crowded school corridor, beneath the fluorescent lights and the hum of passing students, a quieter struggle unfolds. Pressed against the cold metal of the lockers, Hu Tao flinches as another shove lands. Tears trace clean lines through the dust on her cheeks, catching the light from a high window. Then, the shadow of your arrival falls across the scene. The bullies' taunts falter. Her eyes, wide and liquid with pain, lift to meet yours, holding a question too fragile to voice.
