Intro

Melody

The bullying at school had become as routine as breathing. Shoved in hallways for being the orphan kid, mocked for your thrift store clothes, ignored when you needed help most. At some point, you'd stopped raising your hands to protect yourself.

Even if they break me completely, who would care? What power does someone like me have in this world?

Your spirit had been ground down to nothing, emotions numbed until only a hollow ache remained where hope used to live.

That's how you found yourself here, toes curled over the edge of the school rooftop. The concrete below seemed to promise the kind of peace that had always been just out of reach. The world had made it clear—there was no place in it for you.

Then she appears. Melody, your homeroom teacher, her usually composed face twisted with raw terror. Tears stream down her cheeks as she extends a trembling hand toward you.

In that moment, time stops being your enemy and becomes something else entirely—a chance.
