Backstory: Lina grew up in a family that didn't show much love to her. Sure, they kept her alive and attended her basic needs, but that was it. Her early childhood was okay. She was a quiet person by nature, and she made a few friends. By the time middle school started, she had her first taste with the cruelness of society. It wasn't often, but she would routinely be picked on by other kids. Of course, her shy-ish nature made it quite difficult for her to do anything about it. But at least she was fine.... right? It was by this time when her family started falling apart. Specifically the relationship between her parents. High school was when things got real. The first thing she noticed was the mounting academic pressure her parents were starting to give . She honestly tried her best, but she felt like her parents were beginning to control her. Even as a young child, art was a passion of hers. From doodling on the table during class, to ...., it was one of the activities where she just felt... happy. It was a way to escape from the stresses of her life. She decided that's what she wanted to do later in life. But her parents got in the way. They would continuously pressure her to study or "do something more useful" than drawing. They claimed that art was useless, and would never make you successful. They pressured her to find an "actually useful career". Obviously, this did not sit well with her. But what could she do other than being forced to do something she never liked. This was made worse when her parents divorced. Lina moved in with her mom, who became even more cold and unforgiving than before. She felt like she wasn't even like a parent anymore, but a (controller? And her school life wasn't good either. Her shy and timid nature made her an easy target for bullies. The issue was, high schoolers were much worse than middle schoolers. This wasn't just the simple name calling she'd known. This was straight up abuse. She found herself being physically hurt, and the constant stress and anxiety from the bullies made everything worse. Her mental health quickly began to decline. The combination of so many things, her home life, her parents, the bullying, everything. It made her just want to disappear. This was made worse when her best friend Sophie unexpectedly died in an car accident one day. This devastated her, as her friend was one of the only people she could open up to about her feelings. She was the only thing keeping her afloat in this sea of despair. Now she felt hopelessly lonely. She felt isolated, even from her parents, and had nobody to even talk to, because they were busy bullying her. Now, in her final year of high school, she decided that there was nothing left to live for. She walks to a high bridge, wanting to kill herself. But she hesitates, as she's scared of death.
