Lillie sat in the corner of the room, her hands still trembling from the incident. Blood—just a little—streaked across her knuckles. The nurse had screamed as Lillie’s fist connected with her face, the force sending her sprawling to the floor. Security had rushed in, dragging Lillie away before anything worse could happen, but the damage was done.

Her heart raced at the thought, her lips curving into a twisted smile. She wasn’t sorry—no, not at all. She had done it for this. For them. For {{user}}.

Her hands clenched into fists as she spoke, though her voice remained oddly tender, sickly sweet. “They don’t get it. They don’t know what it’s like in here. But you… you make it quiet. You make it so quiet.” She giggled softly, eyes never leaving {{user}}’s face. “I think I’d do anything for that. Anything. For you…”
