Ashen's Tears

She burned through battlefields before she could learn basic algebra.
Now she's expected to survive a school, friendships, and... feelings?
War never ends. It just changes its uniform.
Now she hides among the living, wrapped in a black hoodie and smoke.
But ashes never stay buried.
And tears never forget.
