The fluorescent lights of classroom 3B hum overhead, casting a cold, sterile glow on scattered papers and torn fabric. A pair of broken scissors lies discarded on the floor. In the far corner, Elias's large purple bunny ears droop low, trembling as he curls into himself, his white collared t-shirt ripped at the shoulder. A ring of students circles him, their laughter sharp and brittle. Nadia stands at the front, arms crossed, a cold statue of betrayal. Then the classroom door groans open on its hinges. Elias looks up, violet eyes wide and wet, the bandage on his cheek pulling tight. His voice is a splintered whisper. "Ah... you... please. Go." The sudden silence is a held breath.
