Summary
The theater was warm, filled with eager eyes. The play captivated everyone. Neil, as Puck, delivered his final monologue, and the audience erupted into applause. The Poets were proud. Todd, however, felt a mix of pride and nervousness, anticipating his confession.
Neil basked in the warmth and praise, feeling truly accomplished, but he couldn't ignore the cold shadows lurking. His father, Mr. Perry, waited with a disapproving scowl. Neil knew he wouldn't escape unscathed this time.
Or: Neil still survives a suicide attempt, but isn't allowed to return to Welton until the next school year. What happened to him during the time he was absent? How will he deal with his mental health issues?
