Chapter 62
[ Wait ⦠What is Elysia doing with that knife ? She wouldnât actually , would she ? Nell
[ She agreed to take Rowenaâs place for the placement test ? But what about her own future ! Elysia is so brilliant .
She deserves to go to high school .
Our country needs her !
[ Seriously ? Someoneâs about to die , and youâre worried about school ! Priorities , my dude II
Come on .
Sheâs obviously not going to go through with it .
Sheâs just trying to scare them .
Relax / sarcasın
( Oh , shut up .
Bet youâre one of those who cheer when someoneâs on the edge of a rooftop .
People like you are disgusting ]
Letâs not kid ourselves .
Itâs just attention â seeking .
My own kid used to cut herself in middle school , said she wanted to die .
But look at her now- alive and fine .
This generation has no sense of gratitude .
We parents already do more than enough just by raising them
[ God .
Not every woman is fit to be a mother .
With you as her parent , itâs a miracle your kidâs still alive , Watch your back , or she might be the next one to make headlines for matrickle .
See : the Stoneford University case .
]
Torin clung to the faint hope that the comment might hold some truth .
Maybe , just maybe , Elysia wasnât serious .
Elysia was too strong , ton brave to let something like a dead pet drive her to such extremes .
Fenwick clung to the same desperate denial , trying to convince himself and the others .
â Itâs just a snake â a pet , nothing more .
111 buy her ten more snakes if she wants .
And Iâll track down every teacher , every principal , everyone who bullied her back then .
They wonât get away wilt this .
None of them ,â Fenwick said .
¡ Oh , so he cares so much about her now ? Werenât you just saying you didnât deserve to be siblings and wouldnât dare ask for her forgiveness ? Hypocrite .
]
[ A â per â ? She called it her friend , her family .
You killed the only family she felt she had left .
Fenwick , and now you think you can buy your way back into her life ? Delusional .
I
Fenwick , visibly agitated by the backlash , shouted , â Stop twisting my words ! It was just a snake ! An animal ! We are her â¦
Before he could finish , a sharp click echoed through the speakers , cuting him off
When he turned back to the screen , his eyes widened in horror
The blade of the knife wasnât pressed against Elysiaâs wrist , nor her thigh as some had feared .
Instead , it was buried deep in her chest .
The sharp steel pierced through her school uniform , sinking halfway into her flesh
Both of her hands gripped the handle tightly , trembling as she pushed it deeper into her body .
Blood seeped through the white fabric of her uniform , staining it red ,
It was a sight no one had anticipated .
They had imagined a shallow cut , perhaps a cry for help .
But this â this was a deliberate , unhesitating plunge toward her heart .
Even in her final mor
moments , as her strength waned , she used her remaining energy to push the blade further , ensuring no chance of survival .
â No ! Not Elysia , no ! â Torinâs anguished roar reverberated through the studio .
Torin could no longer restrain himself .
He stood up abruptly and let out an anguished roar that echoed through the studio .
His tears , long held .
back , now fell freely as he stumbled and crawled toward the massive screen .
And then he saw it .
He saw the blade sink fully into the girlâs chest .
He saw blood trickle from the corner of her mouth .
He saw her eyes slowly close .
Torin let ou
Lout a heart â wrenching howl , collapsing to his knees as though his legs had given our entirely .
With trembling fingers , he reached for the screen , desperate to touch her â but all he felt was cold , unyielding glass .
No warmth .
No life .
Just the image of a girl lying there , utterly still , as if â¦.
He couldnât bear to thank of the word , but he couldnât stop himself from thinking it .
â Death .

Chapter 62
Torin collapsed to his knees , his cries echoing through the room .
His hand remained pressed against the screen as if by sheer will he could bring her back
Even the online viewers were paralyzed , fingers hovering above keyboards , unable to type a single letter .
â Elysia Fenwickâs voice broke , as though something lodged in his throat .
nt dark .
As Elysiaâs consciousness faded away , the screen went
And then , the comment section erupted .
[ To everyone who said she was bluffing â what do you say now ? Open your eyes and tell me what you see .
Youâre no better than the bystanders , the enablers , or even the perpetrators of her bullying back in school ! ]
[ This is all Fenwickâs fault .
Heâs the one who killed Elysia .
He murdered his own sister .
And now he doesnât even cry Cold , ruthless , venomous- thatâs what you are .
Fenwick .
Let me return those words to you on her behalf ]
I havenât gone a single day in this livestream without crying .
The Drayton family , you are disgusting .
You destroyed an innocent child and drove her to this .
]
[ Itâs not just the Draytons .
There was Odessa , then that horrible Serena , and even Stellan hurt Elysia at some point .
Has no one in this world ever truly been kind to her ? ]
That haunting question hung in the air .
â Is there anyone who truly cared for ElysiaÅ
The sound of a fist slamming into flesh snapped everyone back to the present ,
Looking up , they saw Torin , who had been sobbing before the screen , now standing over Fenwick .
He threw punch after punch at Ferwickâs face .
his knuckles colliding with sickening force .
him mercilessly .
Fenwick made no attempt to defend himself , allowing Turin to grab him by the collar and beat hi
[ Torinâs gone feral .
Someone stop him before Fenwickâs face gets rearranged ! I
Good .
Keep going .
Torin .
Fenwick deserves every punch and then some ]
[ Forget punching : Grab a knife and give Fenwick a taste of what he did to Elysia .
One stab for each year she suffered â eight in total ]
d back has bloodied
By the time Torinâs fists finally slowed , his eyes were bloodshot , his entire body trembling from the force of his rage .
He pulled hands and collapsed onto the floor , lying there as though unterly spent
down his checks and the ragged sound of his breathing betrayed the storm
He appeared calm at last , but the steady stream of tears rolling de raging within him .
As long as the screen remained dark , the fire in his heart burned fiercely .
He hated Fenwick .
He hated his father .
Theyâre all murderers , â he said .
â Weâre all murderers .
Every single one of us
