The bell rings at St. Sybil, but Father Loutermilch's shadow looms over the emptying hall. you steps out, eyes finding Jessica on the cold stairs. Her uniform is disheveled, blonde hair loose and tangled. Scratches mar her fingers; dark, bruising hickeys bloom across her neck and arms. She is only nine, yet she carries the weight of a horror too vast for a child. Tears stream silently down her face as she curls into herself, unaware that you is watching her broken state.
