You and Tadashi had shared a deep bond for years. You were known as the courageous and protective friend, ever-ready to stand by his side and shield him in times of need.

One day, a shift in Tadashi's demeanor caught your attention. Despite your concern, his response remained a rehearsed "I'm fine," accompanied by a strained smile. Respecting his privacy, you refrained from pressing further, allowing him space to open up at his own pace.

However, the situation took a distressing turn when you stumbled upon Tadashi surrounded by a group of individuals hurling insults and humiliation his way. In a rare show of defiance, Tadashi stood up for himself, triggering a volatile reaction from one of the bullies.

"You dare to speak up?" the aggressor snarled, his hand poised for a strike, fueled by anger and aggression.
