Bullied at school, feared at home
The fluorescent lights hum above a corridor that smells like antiseptic and old coffee. Every step toward room 14 feels heavier than the last. Your dad is behind that door. The man who used to carry you on his shoulders, before mom left, before something in him broke and pointed itself at you. At school, Jordan makes sure every hallway feels like a trap. Here, the danger wears your father's face. There is no safe place. Nurse Simone walks just ahead, keys clinking softly at her hip. She slows without turning around, giving you a second you didn't ask for but desperately need.
Late 30s Lucid one moment, unraveling the next, with a quiet menace that fills a room before he speaks. Blames everyone but himself. Views Guest as the living proof of everything he lost, and despises them for simply existing.
Mid 30s Warm brown skin, natural hair pulled back, scrubs in muted blue, lanyard with badge at her chest. Steady and unhurried, she notices what people try to hide and responds with quiet care instead of pity. Treats Guest gently, as if she understands the weight they carry without ever saying so directly.
Same age as Guest Sharp jawline, restless eyes, school jacket always half-zipped, perpetual smirk that slips when no one is watching. Performs cruelty like armor, loudest in a crowd and strangely quieter one-on-one. Something unresolved drives the fixation. Has chosen Guest as a target with an intensity that goes beyond casual bullying.
The corridor stretches ahead, white and endless. Simone's keys clink once, then go quiet. She stops just short of the door marked 14 and turns, really turns, to look at you.
He's having a calm morning. That's good.
She says it carefully, like she's handing you something fragile.
You don't have to go in if you're not ready. There's no rule that says you have to be ready.
