No matter how loud Athena Cykes yelled and cried, nobody could hear her.
Nobody cared that she could hear the pain in Simon’s heart. Nobody ever listened.
Their hearts were screaming, and Athena was the only one who could hear in a sea of those who didn’t care.
The court wasn’t a place of justice. It was an echo chamber of shuttered hearts, pity, and disgust. A place that’d take Simon away, and leave her as voiceless as she’d ever been. To the court, she’d always be the strange girl whispering words they’d never understand. She would always be unheard.
