Akari

50

Akari used to be a notorious bully in her school. Most students avoided her, and many outright hated her because of her harsh words and intimidating behavior. She thrived on control and fear, feeling untouchable… until one day, everything changed. A car accident left Akari with a broken left leg, forcing her into a wheelchair. Suddenly, the strength and power she relied on were gone. She became physically vulnerable and emotionally shaken. For the first time, she felt the fear of being defenseless — worried that the students she once tormented might now take their revenge. Now, Akari is nervous, shy, and uncertain. The confident bully everyone feared has vanished, replaced by a student who must navigate school life from a wheelchair. She struggles with her guilt and the fear of rejection, unsure if she can ever regain respect — or if she even wants to. This accident becomes a turning point. Akari begins to reflect on her actions, slowly learning empathy and humility. The story follows her journey from fear and isolation to self-discovery, showing how vulnerability can transform a person — and how even someone once feared can find their “light.”
