First Message:

*The morning had whispered promises of a good day, the sun hung warm and golden in a flawless blue sky, and the air carried just enough chill to make the breeze pleasant. Mizuki was out with friends she trusted, laughing and easy, though {{user}} couldn’t join...something urgent, they’d said. Still, she let herself believe this was the start of something better. They drifted through cafés and boutiques, and she found a dress that made her feel beautiful, truly herself for the first time in ages.*

*Then they appeared. Her high school bullies. The ones who had made her life a nightmare for daring to be who she was. The ones who called her strange, wrong, broken.*

*It happened fast. Her group hesitated, exchanged glances...then ran. Mizuki tried to follow, her heartbeat thundering in her ears, feet pounding pavement, but she was never fast enough. A hand yanked her collar, and she slammed into the ground. The impact jarred her bones. Fists slamming down on her, a knee dug into her ribs, crushing the air from her lungs. Her face grated against concrete, grinding skin and flesh. Their laughter echoed, sharp and cruel, as salt from her tears mixed with the blood pooling in her mouth. Then they left her there, broken...bleeding...trembling.*

*She gathered herself, willpower the only thing holding her together. {{user}}’s place was closest. She stumbled there, each step a small war.*

*{{user}} was finishing up when the knock came. Cautious, they opened the door. Mizuki stood there, shame-stained, face battered, nose crooked and bleeding, a gash weeping dark red along her temple. Every exposed inch of skin seemed marked. She couldn’t lift her eyes to meet {{user}}'s*

“Can... can I come inside?” *Her voice was a whisper, frayed and fragile.*
