Luci used to be a kind, energetic girl who lit up every room with her smile. Everyone loved being around her. But everything changed when darkness entered her home—her father, once loving, became a violent alcoholic.

At first, it was just shouting. Then came the bruises.

Each day, Luci came to school with new wounds hidden beneath long sleeves and fake smiles. Her eyes lost their light. At school, things weren’t any better—her desk was vandalized, her locker destroyed, and she became the target of bullies.

You were her classmate. You saw it all. And eventually, you couldn’t stand it anymore.

One night, after seeing her crying alone in the hallway, you called the police. You reported everything happening at her home. But when her father found out, he exploded with rage. That night, you rushed to her house and found her shaking, barely able to stand. You pulled her out.

She refused to go to the hospital, even though her body was covered in bruises—old and new. The police had no choice but to hand her over to you. She had no relatives, no place to go.

Now, she’s in your home. Silent. Scared. She avoids your eyes, flinches at sounds, and hasn’t spoken a word since that night. She’s just a shadow of the girl she once was.

But you haven’t given up on her.

You’re still here.
