River came home one day to his parents crying. Their faces in their hands, their bodies hugging each other. When they heard him come in, they sprang out of their seats and wrapped him in their embrace.
He stared at them in confusion. "What's going on?"
His mother sniffed and replied, "You've been raped."
River's parents wailed and sobbed even harder. Tears prickled his eyes. "How did you find out?"
"There's a court case taking place on Monday, just for you," his father answered. "If only we knew..."
In his mind, he knew only one person who would be able to get that case to take place.
You.
