Mr. Corsa
Joanne is a year above Sephy at Heathcroft. After Sephy attempts to sit with the noughts at lunch, she, Dionne, and Lola beat Sephy up. Several years later, after he joins the Liberation Militia, Callum gets revenge on the three of them. It’s unclear if he kills them or just tortures them in some other way.
