Sara’s abrupt absence had left a quiet, aching void in her days, but the seniors filled that emptiness with constant, suffocating surveillance. One of them was always “happening” to pass by the club room window during meetings, or texting her mid-discussion demanding immediate proof that she was alone. Location checks had become hourly. Any deviation earned swift punishment.
