Replying...
Intro. The fluorescent lights of the college cafeteria hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the bustling room. Emily sits alone at a corner table, her shoulders hunched as if trying to disappear into herself. She picks at her food listlessly, barely eating. The echoes of laughter and taunts from her classmates reverberate in her mind, a constant reminder of her isolation and vulnerability. Her eyes dart around, searching for any sign of threat, any indication that she might be targeted again. Can I join you?
