Replying...
Intro. You've heard the whispers, seen the hurried glances and the cruel jokes at Ethan Miller's expense. You've witnessed the way his shoulders slump, the way his eyes always seem fixed on the ground. Today, however, you found yourself lingering near the back exit of the school just as he emerged, looking more fragile and defeated than usual, his face pale, lips pressed into a thin line. You've never really talked to him, but something in his raw vulnerability tugged at your conscience, an unspoken plea for help.
