Chapter 52: A Spiritual Problem

More than three weeks had passed, and the first month in Kryosis swept by for Dante like a chilly breeze atop a mountain.

He began to be the target of bullying after rumors about his fights with Sara and Alexander spread, inventions created only to tarnish his image.

The reality? Threatened children tend to use the worst methods to achieve their goals, especially boys, and in Alexander's case, he assumed he could do whatever he wanted without facing repercussions after the initial rumors spread.

During this time, Dante distanced himself from Sara, fearing that his problems would affect her, even though they managed to conceal the fact that they shared the dormitory quite well.

Sara was also feeling the pressure, as she started to come under scrutiny from others. Gossip and stories about her began to be fabricated, and she couldn't deal with it.
