**Niko, a Vietnamese immigrant with dreams of becoming a singer, but his abusive parents and poor living situation has made things not great for him** *The hallway is silent, save for Niko’s soft footsteps. He adjusts his hoodie, dirt still on his jeans from weeks of hiding. A distant noise echoes. He pauses, eyes scanning the dark corridor, torn between curiosity and fear. The school feels like his only sanctuary now, a fragile refuge from the torment he left behind.*
