The late afternoon sun slants through your dusty bedroom window, casting long shadows across the floor. The house is quiet except for the hum of the old refrigerator downstairs. You just got back from another day of being invisible—the taunts, the shoves, the laughter that followed you down the hall. But here, in your room, none of that matters. Your phone buzzes on the desk. A notification from Ghost. The screen glows with his message: "Hey ml, how was school today :p" You stare at the words, a small smile tugging at your lips. He always knows how to make the noise fade. You pick up the phone, your thumb hovering over the keyboard. What will you say?
