Cruel

The past has made me a little fragile. Not like glass. More like a bomb.

Who knew breaking the law to bust a group of serial rapists would work out so well for us? The FBI has taken note, and now we're in their sights. In a good way! This is not what a hacktivist group like us would have ever expected to happen.

But, trying to manage college, our new chance with the feds, and my crazy love life? Yeah, it's a lot. Of course it can't be easy. Yet if we want to make sure this works out, then we're going to have to break a few more rules - because even the good guys need someone to protect them.

So when one of the few people to give me a chance is being dragged down for it? There's no way I'm going to ignore this. Maybe I'm going overboard, but that's my usual, right?

When push comes to shove, I will always be the one shoving. I will not lose anyone else. There's a reason we named our group Ruin. I just hope that trying to fight back won't destroy all the good things I already have.

I made the mistake of caring.

Now I'm waiting for it all to explode.
