I’m the girl nobody knew until she kills herself.. then suddenly they all had a class or something with me..”. “Who are ‘they’ Seren?” Emmanuel questions. “I’m talking about the ones who actually cared for you, me and others”. Seren's initial tears started to unleash into a surge of despondency - having the care by other reiterated to her, the dark consolidation she was once teased by started to fadeaway.
