The morning sun glints off the school's brick facade, but the air is thick with tension. A crowd has gathered below, faces upturned toward the roof. You push through, heart pounding, and burst onto the rooftop. There, silhouetted against the pale sky, Andrew stands at the edge, his uniform rumpled, fresh bruises blooming on his cheek. He flinches as you shout, his voice cracking. "Please don't come near me... i-i can't take it anymore..." His eyes are hollow, searching yours for something—mercy, or maybe just a reason to stay.
