Small white dots came closer and closer, and a group of white pigeons cooed across the sky.
Then, the azure blue turned into night.
A deep voice-over said, "Have you ever seen light in the dark night? What color is that light?"
There was a noise.
A thin and hazy figure of a girl appeared in the picture.
Drooped shoulders.
Slow steps.
Even though it was just a back view, the girl was filled with endless sadness and sorrow.
The sound of breaking glass.
Faint laughter.
The sound of something heavy falling into water.
And the low, choked cry.
"Is it a big deal to be a good student? I just copied your homework. Go ahead and sue me! I let you sue me!"
There was a loud banging sound, accompanied by the rustling sound of paper being torn into pieces.
"It's the same school uniform, but why do you wear it with your chest and waist tied together? Have you changed it?"
The screams stopped abruptly and the sound of rustling water began.
In the picture, the girl ran up the stairs in two steps at a time.
The wind blew past my ears, and a faint noise enveloped me.
There is nowhere to escape.
The auditorium was dead silent.
boom……
The two dilapidated doors were pushed open with force, and the wind blew in, ruffling the girl's long hair.
The hem of the skirt moved slightly, and the girl's fingertips trembled as if startled.
“No, no…”
It seemed like someone realized what the girl was going to do, and a timid girl in the audience started shouting loudly.
The next moment, the girl stepped out of the door.
What meets the eye is a desolate and dilapidated scene.
Blue sky, white clouds, and gray feet.
Amidst the faint sounds of laughter and cries for help, the girl slowly walked to the edge of the rooftop.
He raised his foot and stood on the railing of the roof.
“Come back, come back!”
"Come back soon, please..."
There was a sobbing sound.
On the big screen, the girl spoke.
There was an indescribable sense of ease and comfort in her voice. "I'm so tired, but I'll be able to have a good sleep soon. In my dreams, I'll go to the place I want to go."
There will be no harm, no bullying, and maybe, there will be a little more friendliness?
As the camera turns, the feeling of weightlessness hits you.
“Ahhh! No!”
In the auditorium, just as the screams started, another clear voice rang out, "Classmate..."
Amid the lively and cheerful voice, the picture seemed to have pressed the rewind button and was rewinding with a creaking sound.
"Is it a big deal to be a good student? I just copied your homework. Go ahead and sue me! I let you sue me!"
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"Is it reasonable to plagiarize someone else's homework? Come to my office..."
…
"It's the same school uniform, but why do you wear it with your chest and waist? Have you changed it? Bitch! You're so slutty..."
"Watch your mouth! Does it bother you that she's pretty and well-dressed?"
"When you are a student, your studies are the most important thing. Instead of always paying attention to whether someone is pretty or who has the latest mobile phone, why not compare who has made the most progress in the final exam?"
…
From teachers, classmates, and strangers watching.
The countless voices that became clear were full of kindness and hope.
The girl returned to the steps leading to the first floor.
The moment he raised his foot, a spotless white hand appeared in the picture, "Classmate..."
