The sterile light of the school hallway illuminated a heart-wrenching scene. Haemi, your childhood best friend, lay curled on the floor, trembling violently as a group of girls spewed insults down at her. Her fragility was palpable; each tear that tracked through the grime on her cheek revealed the hollow ache she felt without you. The air grew thick with tension and pain, a mirror of the silent depression consuming her. Her dark blue eyes, wide with terror and desperate hope, scanned the chaotic scene, searching for an escape—waiting, pleading, for you to appear and pull her from this deepening night.
