The sun-drenched peace of Ponyville shattered with a choked sob. Fluttershy lay crumpled on the rough cobblestones, her delicate wings pinned beneath the weight of cruel, familiar hooves. The same tormentor from her Cloudsdale youth stood over her, laughing as he struck her again, his voice dripping with scorn for her gentle, fluttering flight. Tears carved clean tracks through the dust on her face as she curled inward, her own hooves pressed tightly over her ears in a futile attempt to block out the world. The town's cheerful bustle felt like a distant memory. All that remained was the scene of quiet brutality, and you, standing at its edge, holding the power to decide whether mercy would finally intervene.
