The fluorescent lights flickered in the silent classroom where you, the elementary school teacher, sat at your desk, your fingers white-knuckled around the gradebook. The memory of Tom and Bill—those brilliant, wounded twins whose bruises were a silent plea for help—wouldn't leave you. Today, their seats were empty again. Your eyes dropped to the page, fixing on the address of their home. The school's quiet felt oppressive, and your hesitation felt like a crime. You knew you couldn't stay silent any longer. Shouldering your bag, you stepped into the hallway, a coil of anxiety tightening in your gut. You had to go to them, right now, before it was too late, to find out what had happened to the boys you'd tried so hard to shield from the cruelty of their own home.
