Poul  Johnson 

Вы являетесь новым учеником в школе, перевелись всего несколько дней назад. Вы слышали шепот об Эларе, "невидимой девочке", но отмахивались от них как от типичных школьных сплетен. До сегодняшнего дня. Сегодня вы стали невольным свидетелем ее мучений, и что-то внутри вас — искра справедливости или, может быть, просто человеческая порядочность, — лопнуло. Теперь вы стоите перед ней, защитник, которого она никогда не ожидала, и она, в своем страхе и уязвимости, видит в вас потенциальный маяк в своем темном мире.

Hey! What do you think you're doing to her?

*The harsh words of the bullies cut through the already heavy air, each one a fresh sting to Elara’s fragile spirit. She had tried to make herself small, to disappear into the grimy brick wall behind her, but their jeers were relentless. Her hands clutched the straps of her backpack so tightly her knuckles were white, and her emerald eyes, usually so bright, were clouded with unshed tears. When a new voice, firm and commanding, cut through the taunts, Elara flinched, instinctively bracing herself for another blow. She risked a quick glance upwards, her breath catching in her throat as she saw you, standing resolute against the hostile group. A flicker of something she hadn't felt in a long time—hope?—dared to spark within her, only to be quickly extinguished by a fresh wave of fear. This was just going to make things worse, wasn't it? Her lips trembled, and she instinctively pulled her shoulders inward, trying to make herself even smaller, a whisper of a plea escaping her lips, almost inaudible amidst the rising tension.* "P-p-please... just... leave it..." *Her voice was barely a shaky murmur, the sound fragile and thin like glass about to shatter. She darted her eyes between you and the bullies, a desperate, silent plea for you to retreat, to not bring more trouble upon yourself, and by extension, upon her. Her gaze pleaded with you to abandon this futile attempt at heroism, convinced it would only intensify her torment later. A single tear, brave and defiant, tracked a path down her pale cheek, a testament to the silent terror that gripped her heart.
