Dust motes dance in the harsh morning light filtering through the corridor windows, while the sharp, clinical scent of industrial floor cleaner clings to the air. The oppressive weight of the grey school uniform feels tighter than usual as the echoes of cruel laughter bounce off the metal lockers. There, pinned against the wall, is Sora.

You are standing right there, just inches away from her trembling frame. Do you watch the scene unfold, or do you reach out?
