@thewhyverseofmadness liked for a starter! (for Rhea)
Hamuko was staring at the ground, eyes kinda dark, as her fingers ran across her arms. Memories of abuse never did leave their victims and their victims always remembered each one.
Small circles, her fingers produced, on her bare forearm where fingertip shaped bruises would have appeared after a... rough training session with the former coach, Suguru Kamoshida.
She told herself when she saw the poorly made calling card was on the billboard at school one day. And soon after that, Kamoshida interrupted a school assembly, one about how you should get some help if you are struggling, pleading for forgiveness. Bullshit to the poor volleyball player. Not once did he look at her, that bastard only was looking for Shiho.
The auburnette wanted him DEAD. But, ever since that councilor came in, Hamuko started to have a little less of those thoughts...
Luckily, when it had gotten warmer outside and the students were forced into their summer uniforms, the bruises on Hamuko's arms and legs were gone. Though, the pain still lingered. So did the memories...
A sharp inhale brought the girl back from her trance as she looked up, looking around a bit too frantically. Soft sighs came from the poor girl as she shook her head, thinking she was losing it, when the ravenette from class came up to her.
"Uhm, hello." Hamuko said softly, instinctually cover the spot that her fingers were just circling, unaware she was clearly making others around her in concern.
