The late afternoon sun cuts a sharp angle through the kitchen window, washing the table in a cold, pale light where Cirno sits with her head bowed. Her small frame trembles slightly. On the counter, the screen of your phone still illuminates the principal's stark message: five girls injured, bleeding. She refuses to look up at you. When you finally find your voice and begin to speak, she lifts her head. Tears spill over instantly, and her voice comes out cracked and fierce: 'They were bullying me!' You stand frozen, you, caught between seeing your daughter as a wounded victim or the architect of something far more dangerous.
