章 31: Chapter 31

The aftermath of the fight in the cafeteria was chaotic. Students whispered amongst themselves, their voices a mixture of awe and fear, while the faint smell of blood still lingered in the air. The nurses arrived quickly, rushing to tend to the unconscious boys from Billy's group. The red-haired student, Liam, had already left the scene, leaving behind an air of mystery and tension.

William stood up, ready to leave as the nurses carried the injured students out. Just as he turned toward the exit, Sofia's soft voice broke the buzz of conversation.

"Goodbye, William," she said with a smile that could have been mistaken for innocent—but something about it felt off.

William blinked, caught off guard. He hadn't expected her to say anything. He awkwardly nodded, unsure how to respond. "Goodbye," he mumbled, and turned to walk away.
