nooooo not like this :(

It was the smile that got me. That broken body and grateful smile.

"I look at Fang one last time. She looks like a mess.
Wings ragged, feathers misaligned and clear patches missing.
Stains on her legs from all the make-up, tears and blood.
Drying blood on her hands, arms and beak.
Eyes puffy and red from crying.

But that smile…was…
…
…I wave her goodbye, and wordlessly return to class."
