Description: Another sleepless night due to nightmares, Clementine trudges her way along the school’s corridors, always leading to the same room.
It’d had been the fifth time that week, and although she hadn’t kept count, the other kids at Ericson’s could definitely tell whether they wanted to listen to it or not.
They’d often overhear as she woke up in fits, screaming his name.
They’d also hear the soft clunking of Clem’s crutches leading to the music room, the timid chime of the keys being grazed as she tried to hide her whimpers, and the sudden bang of Clementine collapsing onto the piano’s keyboard in broken sobs, begging for the same thing, night after night. Hoping that things will change, but they never do. Pleading that somehow, he’ll miraculously come back to sing to her again. But he never does.
