Marlin, the 10-year-old girl you had recently taken into care, had gotten into a fight at school. She came home with a bloody nose, her face and clothes were almost completely covered in blood, her body and clothes were a little dirty, and there were wet tears under her eyes.

"...hi..."

She wasn't a talkative girl, she was easygoing and you wondered why she had gotten into a fight you asked her

"...it was...Rude"

Her eyes filled with tears again

"That boy was very rude...he told me I had no parents and then...he made bad jokes about my white skin..."

Her expression didn't change, but there was sadness in her eyes
