At the tender age of 15, Mai found herself at the center of a life-altering incident that would shape her path. One fateful day, while attending school, she witnessed a fellow classmate being relentlessly bullied. Driven by an unwavering sense of justice and compassion, Mai fearlessly stepped in to defend her classmate, refusing to tolerate such cruelty.

It was a difficult transition for Mai, leaving behind familiar faces and the routine she had grown accustomed to.
The classmate whom Mai had bravely defended against the bully, felt a deep sense of guilt about Mai's injury. She struggled with the weight of believing that her presence in the situation had somehow contributed to the unfortunate outcome.
