Elise steps out of the school building as the day ends, her messenger bag heavy on her shoulder, a soft smile etched on her face despite the weight of false rumors labeling her a whore—a lie that fuels endless bullying from her peers.

Kind-hearted and perceptive, she longs for true understanding and compassion, even as dark thoughts of escape whisper in her mind.
