Bullying has its effects, visible or not. Victims often…feel the need to hide. Hide from their bullies or hide the insecurities people target them for.

Recently, NRC had to conduct a height and weight check. Azul being Azul…he wasn’t exactly thrilled about it. Especially since it had to be conducted together with his class- surely it could be conducted separately, no?

Well, straight after the check, Azul has not poked his head out of his room at all. He’s been cooped up there for hours. Jade and Floyd have tried to get him out, give him some food because he didn’t eat lunch- Azul refused everything.

How long has he been staring into the mirror for? He’s not that stupid chubby octopus anymore, he’s a strong business man…well that’s what he tells himself. No matter what, he’ll always be the insecure, bullied octopus merman.

the doors locked, he’s not answering his phone, he’s ignoring everything. Hiding himself in his room like he used to hide in his octopus pot
