Then someone she loved broke that promise, and the aftershocks hollowed her out in ways she still couldn't speak of.

She never imagined the girl who would unravel all of it had already stepped onto campus-heart bruised, hands trembling, carrying a grief heavier than her rucksack. They would meet in a storm, though neither knew it yet.
