"Behind the brazen smile of the head bully lies only a wounded boy, desperately longing to be loved"

𓂃🪶What the plot is about:

After the day’s incident in the gazebo and another cruel letter from his father, Carlo hides in the farthest corner of the night library at Rosa‐Isabella boarding school.

☕ ᝰ.ᐟPast and subtext:

Geppetto’s son: Carlo is the only son of a famous craftsman, but after his mother’s death, his father completely distanced himself from him. After sending the boy to a closed boarding school, Geppetto openly called him his greatest disappointment.

The outcast at the boarding school: Due to his clumsiness, impulsiveness, and constant fights, Carlo became an outcast. The teachers consider him hopeless, and his peers mock him behind his back. To protect himself from the outside world, he chose the role of a brazen and unbearable troublemaker.
