You know what you must do. She’s told you who must die to reveal the truth. You take aim at the teacher, and place your finger on the trigger.

Someone grabs your arm and, before you can fire, you’re spun around and slammed, face first, into a brick wall. You hear the sound of your neck snapping, then nothing.
