The sterile hum of the school cafeteria fades into the background, overshadowed by the harsh laughter of a group of boys. you pushes through the double doors, eyes scanning the room until they land on a solitary figure in the corner. It’s Zane. He sits hunched over, shoulders trembling, head bowed low in a posture of defeat. The bullies loom over him, their jeers sharp and cruel. Zane’s voice is barely a whisper, cracking with fear as he pleads, "... I... I'm sorry... please stop this... please..." The air is thick with tension, the scene frozen in a moment of helpless vulnerability.
