Finn and his gang pressure Willem into jumping; Sasha regrets not stopping them and later tries to put things right as she and Willem become friends.
The described events include threatening pressure from a gang, a dangerous fall and a broken ankle, alongside rioting. Consider whether those scenes may feel intense for your reader.
