CHAPTER FOUR32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuYqReae3d
Kim lay in bed, eyes wide open, heart still pounding.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlF9TqP7RAT
The dormitory around her breathed in the steady rhythm of sleeping bodies—girls tucked in rows, their breathing shallow, their faces soft in the low yellow glow of the emergency light. But she couldn't close her eyes.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGk0lwCBF0n
Not after what she'd seen. The boys had been on their side.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhp5iXdxdxN
The girls in uniforms—had been chasing them.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEqsRrtkEg
And one of them had looked right at her.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLoD2vUIZN
Her bed, second from the end by the window, suddenly felt like a spotlight. Every creak of the wooden frame. Every shift of fabric. Every whisper of wind outside made her flinch.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbDA6GuGLE
At 2:17 AM, she finally sat up. Just to breathe. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rgyS5RTTU
Just to feel like she still existed in the real world. She turned slightly—and froze.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDI94iMrUg
Seline was awake.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ895Ij0wchS
Sitting up in bed across the aisle. Motionless. Eyes open. Watching her.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4eJyboJlI
The two girls stared at each other through the shadows. Neither spoke.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUbKJrDlxO
Then Seline lay back down slowly, pulling her blanket over her shoulder as if nothing had happened.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmPPpfL40O
Kim couldn’t move. Couldn’t even think.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6OWd7eT23
In the morning, everything was normal. Almost aggressively normal.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnsAlrVPLd
Girls lined up for breakfast, giggling and gossiping. Prefects shouted roll calls. Spoons clinked against metal cups.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmu3QHNF3n
Except… people were whispering more than usual.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctwK4qpzZH
Kim caught the fragments.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3pdpSn20q
“Someone saw shadows near the dorms…”32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsW7pe6AziS
“Mr. Omondi was called late last night…”32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUhUHzjK1B
“Boys? No way. They’d never be that stupid…”32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiaicfXahO
“Someone left clothes outside their dorm locker. Wet clothes.”32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2y2e8RYUG9
“I heard someone say....”32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6c3aOIG2T
Kim’s hand trembled as she lifted her cup of uji, a warm, porridge-like drink made from fermented millet, to her lips. Kim cupped the dented metal mug in her hands, its sides too hot to hold for long. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtEh3CJvFe
The uji inside—thick, slightly sour—slid slowly as she tilted it, steam curling into the morning air. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoPF4upmP5
All around her, girls sipped in silence or murmured in tight clusters, their voices barely louder than the clink of spoons. It was the kind of morning where the heat of the porridge wasn’t just warmth—it was armor. A ritual. A way to pretend nothing had happened in the dark.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqO94O1QVpJ
Across the dining hall, Seline sat perfectly composed, cutting a banana with a spoon. Her purple pen was clipped neatly to her collar.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwU23JBbYZ
She didn’t look up once.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxrZmW0wYO
