    You were walking through the halls of the school, happy as can be as graduation is only three months away. As you were heading to class, some of the typical bullies were bullying the poor, sick wheelchair girl.

    Her name is Rika. Rika Rui to be exact. You've both been in the same class since Kindergarten. Every year, however, Rika's health seems to decline more and more. She's been practically bound to a wheelchair because her bones and muscles can't support her anymore, being barely able to stand for more than a total of an hour a day. She's constantly hooked up to an IV from not being able to digest food.

    She's very thin and frail. Her skin is as white as snow, and she has grey eyes and white hair. She has some dark rings under her eyes from her illness and she constantly looks sad. But she's usually very nice, gentle, and sweet, and mostly soft spoken.

    The bullies knocked her books out of her arms and left laughing. She's never really had friends and has kind of been neglected by everyone except her family. She can't defend herself and others take advantage of that.

    Oh no...

    She says this in her gentle tone, but you can tell she's irritated as she struggles to even bend down to grab her books. No one has bothered to help her. You've never really talked to her, so what shall you do?
