Afternoon classes ended. The students went out into the hallway. Valeria didn't go directly to the dressing rooms. She stayed alone in the second-floor bathroom, staring at the ceiling.

Valeria listened to the audio twice. Daniela's voice sounded the same as always — happy, confident, guilt-free. That was the hardest part.

Valeria started writing. She deleted the message. She wrote again. She deleted it again. The third time she wrote: 'no, I'm not okay. I saw what you wrote.' She looked at it for five seconds. She deleted it.
