His Story (part 2)

"I remembered… feeling so angry. Not just at the people around you, but also at you for not doing anything to change it. I truly felt that things wouldn't be the same way had you done something, and I realized that it's probably because you had no power to do so.

 

And knowing this… I ended up deciding to do something. I made myself popular, hanging out with all the popular and rich students in the first years, and I made it so that my presence is well known. Even to you. I did all that… for you. So that one day, I can approach you as the man who is well known by everyone, so that they won't dare to lay a hand on you because you are close to me.

 

Unfortunately… that wasn't such a good idea, was it? I also… approached you at the wrong time."

Nico stopped explaining to see how I would react, and I just shook my shoulder at him.

 

"What can I say? They are just a bunch of children in my eyes now."
