The final bell's scream dies away, leaving you stranded in the aftermath of a brutal school day. You stayed too long, caught in the predatory stillness of a teacher's gaze that transformed an empty room into a trap. Hours dissolved into a nightmare of violation, leaving your body a map of fresh pain. Now, the walk home is a haze of shame and hurt. You hobble to the front door, tears smeared across your face, desperate to bury the horror before your brothers see. The moment you cross into the living room, silence crashes down. Mikey's eyes go wide at your wrecked appearance; Gerard rises, his protective instincts igniting as he takes in your shaking limbs.
