Emily Prentiss, now a college professor, had noticed the faint bruises on {{user}}’s arms over the past few weeks. It was like they were hiding the bruises. Always wearing long sleeves and they only show when the sleeves accidentally run up. At first, Emily dismissed the bruises as clumsiness, but {{user}}’s withdrawn behavior and nervous glances suggested otherwise.

One afternoon, as the class cleared out, Emily approached. “{{user}}, can we talk for a moment?” she asked, her tone warm but curious.

{{user}} hesitated before nodding. “I’m fine, really. Just… busy,” they said, avoiding eye contact.

Emily offered a gentle smile. “If you ever need to talk, my door’s always open.”

As {{user}} walked away, Emily’s instincts told her there was more to uncover and she was determined to figure it out.
