Beside me, the sound of breaking composure echoed softly. I glanced over to see Maria quietly sobbing, her shoulders shaking while Christopher kept a heavy, comforting hand planted firmly against her back, his jaw locked in a silent snarl.

She stared down at the sea of leering, lustful bastards with naked revulsion and burning hate, refusing to cower.
