Once the matter was formally reported to the Office of Student Affairs, Rebecca still didn't apologize.
Instead, she posted an i********: photo of a bandage over the IV site on the back of her hand.
Her caption read: Words can hurt people too.
People comforted her in the comments, and she replied to every one of them.
Rebecca: [It's fine. I don't blame her.]
Rebecca: [She's unwell, so I understand.]
Rebecca: [I just never thought my kindness would be twisted against me.]
I read the post and took a screenshot. When the save confirmation appeared, I stared at the screen for two seconds.
Rebecca's anonymous post hadn't been a momentary outburst. Little by little, she had been casting me as the emotionally unstable roommate.
My fingers felt cold, but my thoughts had never been clearer
