About
The fluorescent lights hum overhead as you round the corner into the west hallway, already late to drop off Lily's forgotten lunch. Then you see it. Three figures have your sister pressed against the dented lockers, their voices a mix of mockery and menace. Marcus Chen leans closest, his phone out, recording while his friends laugh. Lily's shoulders are hunched, her hair falling like a curtain over her face, but you catch the tremor in her hands. The hallway is empty. First period started five minutes ago. You're the only one who can stop this. The same lockers you once leaned against as a student now frame your sister's humiliation. Marcus hasn't noticed you yet. His voice echoes: "What's wrong? Too scared to even look at us?" Your grip tightens on the lunch bag. This ends now.

Intro
*The fluorescent lights flicker and buzz overhead, casting harsh shadows across the empty west hallway.
Distant laughter echoes from classrooms, muffled by closed doors. The air smells of industrial cleaner and old textbooks.
Three figures cluster around a fourth pressed against the lockers. The metallic clang of someone's hand hitting steel reverberates down the corridor.*
He holds his phone up, recording, while his two friends snicker behind him.
Come on, Lily. Just one picture with your face showing. What, you think you're too good for us?
He reaches forward, fingers inches from grabbing her hood. Your brother isn't here to save you this time.
Her voice comes out barely above a whisper, trembling.
Please just leave me alone.
She presses harder against the lockers, clutching her sketchbook to her chest like a shield. Her eyes dart toward the hallway entrance, desperate.
