The courtroom felt too bright, too loud. Olivia sat rigidly in the witness box, facing a room full of people who were analyzing and judging her. The online publication of her diary, filled with teenage secrets, had become the centerpiece of this trial. Her heart hammered against her ribs.

Her lawyer’s words seemed distant, meaningless. She felt like a puppet, manipulated by external forces. The strain of the situation was almost unbearable.
