The bustling street outside the office felt a million miles away. Inside, the quiet was almost deafening. Every step was heavy. Her breath hitched in her throat as the weight of the day threatened to suffocate her. This meeting felt like a precipice, and she wasn't sure if she could make it through.

She walked in. She was greeted by a professional woman. And then came the shock. "Dr. Matthews will see you now."

The door opened. There stood Kevin, the boy who had relentlessly excluded her from everything, Kevin who reveled in being a bully. Now, he was dressed in a tailored suit, his face composed. "Serena, come in." His office was modern and sleek, the stark lines adding to the tension. She sat, her hands clenched in her lap.
