Eliza discovered the account while searching for a lost library book on her daughter, Sophia’s, computer. The screen flickered, revealing an active chat window. A user named “Sapphire_Star” was exchanging messages with several unknown people.

Her jaw dropped. Sophia, the girl who loved poetry and quiet walks in the park, was… this? The words on the screen were fast-paced, filled with slang and references she didn't grasp. A feeling of bewilderment coursed through her, leaving her feeling unsettled.

She ran her fingers through her hair, a knot forming in her stomach. Her breath caught in her throat. She needed to sit down, to make sense of what she had seen.
