After collapsing from exhaustion, Estrella suffered further when a fellow student callously steppedon her wrists, causing her immense pain.
"Why did you suddenly scream? I just walked beside you and did nothing. Don't frame me." Theaggressor, feigning innocence, mocked Estrella's reaction, attracting laughter from onlookers.

"You stepped on my hand. Say sorry." Estrella demanded an apology, only to be met with denial andridicule.
"What do you mean? When did I step on you? Do you have evidence?" Then, she glanced at thesurrounding people and challenged them, "What do you think? Did I step on her?"
Naturally, the surrounding people didn't dare to say anything because they were her lackeys.
"Don't frame me if you don't have any evidence." She crossed her arms confidently.
Estrella clenched her fists. She had no evidence that the girl had stepped on her; the only proof wasthe redness on her wrist.
Defeated, she decided to get some medicine from the school nurse and turned to leave.
"Don't go in a hurry. It's not settled yet."

Despite her initial defiance, Silas's involvement compelled her to offer a begrudging apology,sensing the consequences of crossing him. His reputation as the school's top bully preceded him,adding weight to his support for Estrella.
