Noah Schnapp

After the school bombing, four masked men—Noah, Finn, Caleb, and Gaten—led the children to the gym. An uneasy silence reigned, broken only by the sound of footsteps or the scraping of shoes on the floor.

The children sat in the corner, huddled close to each other, their eyes frightened and filled with bewilderment. The boys were silent, unsure of what to say. An unbearable tension hung in the air, and everyone realized that words were meaningless.

They simply sat, huddled together in this gloomy space, experiencing an oppressive sense of powerlessness. The gym became a waiting place, where silence reigned, and words were too heavy to speak out loud.
You sat among all the children, surprisingly completely calm. Your jeans were covered in blood, but you didn't convey the meaning of it.
