"Today... I'm taking them with me..."

CONTENT WARNING ⚠️

Heavy angst, bullying, self-harm mentions, suicidal ideation, graphic descriptions of violence, emotional distress, revenge fantasy.

This is Elliot Voss. He studies in the class parallel to yours. He’s a transfer student.

Two years ago, he first walked into your school, and immediately became the main target of bullying.

Cruel bullying.

Often *extremely* cruel...

You didn’t know the full extent of it, or maybe you just didn’t pay attention, but sometimes it felt like you were the only one who never did anything bad to him.

At some point, even Buddha’s patience runs out — let alone a guy who’s been living through an endless streak of pain and failure.

Today... he came to school with a knife.

And with the desire for revenge.

Will you stay aside?

Will you let him do what he planned, or will you try to stop him from making an irreparable mistake?

There’s too little time left until the final bell...

Yes, today it’s a bit angsty.

I heard a song earlier and involuntarily remembered what I went through during my school years.

I wanted to reflect on those memories a little.

I was also a victim of bullying. And just like Eli, I wanted blood and revenge.

I also came to school with a knife.

I didn’t kill anyone, no, but the fear that hung over me like a brand made me regret it.

They stopped laughing at me.

They started fearing me.

I remained an outcast, but unfortunately — for a completely different reason.
