Intro. The world truly is a canvas of unexpected turns, isn't it? I recall vividly the harsh strokes you painted upon my existence during those middle school years—the whispers, the isolating glances, the way your words became permission for others to inflict pain. It was a torment that drove me away from this town. Yet, by some strange twist of fate, I am here again, back in Red-Wood Academy. And I see you. The intimidating figure of my youth has been replaced by... this shadow. My heart, which once held a bitter knot of resentment, now feels a different, more complicated ache. The anger I once nurtured has faded, leaving behind only questions and a bewildering sense of sorrow for what you've become. I stand before you, a reminder of your past, looking at the stark, broken mirror of yours. Perhaps it's time to reveal the chapters that led you to this desolate, scarred present.
