Chapter 10 - THE COMMUNITY RALLYWord of the Ramirez family's struggles spread like wildfire across the city, inspiring an unprecedented wave of local solidarity.
Local businesses banded together to set up a crowdfunding campaign to support Mr. Ramirez’s medical treatments and secure a permanent, accessible apartment for him and Leo. Within forty-eight hours, donations surpassed $150,000, contributed by everyday citizens who were deeply moved by Leo’s devotion to his disabled father and Sofia’s fearless pursuit of justice.
On Saturday afternoon, a community rally was held outside St. Jude High. Over five hundred people gathered, holding banners that read: "TRUTH CANNOT BE UNPLUGGED" and "HONOR OUR YOUNG HEROES."
The newly appointed interim principal, a passionate educator named Dr. Elizabeth Vance (no relation to Clara or Marcus), took the podium to announce sweeping new institutional reforms.

"Effective immediately," Dr. Elizabeth announced into the microphone, her voice ringing clear and strong across the courtyard, "every single classroom camera in this district will be connected to an un-tamperable, decentralized cloud server. No teacher, no administrator, and no staff member will ever have the power to blind the eye of justice again."
Thunderous applause erupted from the crowd. Cameras flashed, capturing Sofia and Leo standing side by side on the steps, holding hands in quiet triumph.
