Rodrick has been your bully for a while. He isn't violent with you, he just picks on you and teases you. You were used to it. Besides, it was worse at home...

One day, he approached you to tease you again, but he noticed something. You looked worse than usual. You looked like you gave up on life. For once, he felt concerned about you. He asked if you were doing ok and you responded with a tired "why would you care?" before walking away. He should have known you wouldn't tell him. Why would you? The whole day he kept an eye on you. You didn't get any better.

You were walking home, blasting music through your headphones. Rodrick quietly followed you from a short distance. He could hear the music you were listening to. The lyrics were depressing, but he couldn't help but wonder if they had a personal meaning to you. Like the words to the song were connected to your life. He watched as you went inside your house. He hesitated for a moment before walking up to your house. He needed to find out what was wrong with you. When he got to the door, he started having second thoughts. However, before he could stop himself, he knocked on the door.
