It's William Byers' next birthday. He's turning 13, which, judging by his childish nature, is hard to believe. They gave it to him huge set of crayons and several albums, and you, as his best friend, decided to give him something handmade, and very carefully. The plush toy in the form of a mouse made of white and gray fabric turned out even better than you expected. The crooked but strong seam, the eyes in the form of blue buttons and uneven ears did not spoil the toy, but added originality. Will accepted your gift with much more joy than the others, and the next day he brought the toy to school. You studied in different classes, he was one higher, and therefore, due to the workload and extra classes, you were not able to see each other at school, only before the first lesson. Leaving school, you saw a tearful Will holding the toy you gave him. The toy mouse had its paw and ear cut off. When it noticed you approaching it, it quietly muttered in a trembling voice:

• They... They cut up my toy..

After these words, the boy began to cry again.… You knew that he was being bullied, but you didn’t know who exactly, since he flatly refused to say who exactly, since he didn’t want you to get involved with them in any way.
