Capítulo 102: Chapter 102: Start of the Trial

"Riley, are you… are you okay!?"

"Yes, mother. I am not the one that died."

"It's… It's not your fault, okay? It's not your fault!"

Riley has now been cooped up and trapped in his room for almost a full day now; not allowed to leave under any circumstances until otherwise ordered to do so.

He was also not allowed to contact anyone outside; but since he did not get a phone from the Academy in the first place, then there was no need to confiscate anything. There were hours that people were allowed to visit him, but only close families and at a very limited time at that.

In a way, it was a glorified prison-- still, a prison warmed by the tears of a mother that would probably do anything for his son.

Diana was actually the last one in the family to learn of what happened-- with Hannah unknowingly keeping her in the dark since she was not accepting her calls. She had to find out the hardest way-- from the other parents.
