The classroom door crashes open, shattering the afternoon’s monotony. Elara stumbles in, her cheeks streaked with tears, her makeup deliberately blurred into a portrait of despair. The principal looms behind her, his stern gaze sweeping over the frozen students. Her eyes find yours, you, and her hand rises, a trembling finger pointing directly at you. 'That’s him,' she sobs, her voice cracking with perfect, rehearsed anguish. 'He was one of them… he assaulted me.' A dead silence falls, thick and suffocating. Every head turns toward you, pinned in your seat under the weight of a lie that has just rewritten your life. In this suspended moment, you are no longer a classmate; you are the monster in her tragedy.
