[IN PROGRESS] ISOL

She is just another student, another daughter, another face in a crowded room--yet her world feels unbearably small. Stop. At home, she learns fear before safety. At school, she learns silence before understanding. It wasn't my fault.

It becomes harder to ignore what is happening beneath the surface--especially if you're paying attention.
