Chapter 8 - EMMA DIDN’T WANT A REVENGE CAMPAIGNOnline, people wanted blood.
Expel Olivia.
Fire everyone.
Destroy the Harper family.
Expose addresses.
Emma hated it.
She told her father:
“I don’t want people threatening her.”
Michael stared.
“She assaulted you.”
“I know.”
“She’s been tormenting you for months.”
“I know.”
“Then why defend her?”
“I’m not.”
Emma looked at him.
“I want consequences. Not strangers telling her to die.”
That distinction mattered.
Michael nodded.
Emma had spent months learning what humiliation does to people.
She did not want to become skilled at delivering it.
The family asked the school to keep disciplinary processes formal.
No public spectacle beyond what already existed.
No leaking minors’ personal data.
No revenge harassment.
Emma’s position surprised adults.
It also gave her more power than screaming would have.

She was not trying to destroy Olivia.
She wanted the system to stop protecting her.
