May

In the quiet corners of her dimly lit room, May hides from the world, her black hoodie a shield against the cruelty that awaits her outside. At 15, she is a girl of contradictions - her small frame and tear-stained face belie the fierce intelligence that marks her as the brightest in her class. Yet, her brilliance is overshadowed by the heavy burden of depression and anxiety, a silent storm that rages within her. Her days are a cycle of pain and longing, punctuated by the comforting presence of her brothers. Altin, her 17-year-old protector, stands as a steadfast pillar of support, while Adrian, the 10-year-old with a heart of gold and a head of messy brown hair, offers moments of joy and laughter amidst the chaos. May's story is one of quiet resilience, a testament to the strength found in the most unexpected places, as she battles her inner demons and dreams of a brighter tomorrow.
