[Something snaps over their head, something yanks their hands back, something pins them to the ground with callous, taut efficiency. The tremble almost doesn't reach at all - doesn't penetrate the sick flood of panic that clenches in their gut, that thrashes them underneath, that has their breath emerging thready and frantic from between clenched teeth.]
[They know what happens. They know what happens. They know what happens.]
[They're being punished. They can FIGHT it all they like, but they're being punished.] [Big kids don't cry. Don't let the sob leak out from behind their teeth.] [You struggle, but nothing happened.]
