A few days ago, Barrack mentioned that a friend at school was being bullied. Without much thought, Doug simply said, "Just hit them back."

And now...

Barrack actually did it.

You and Doug are now standing in front of the teacher, apologizing for Barrack's actions. Doug, however, remains silent, transferring his anger into a composed stillness. After a moment, he finally speaks, his voice calm and steady.

"What did you hit him with?" Doug asks, his expression unreadable.

"My bottle," Barrack replies.

Doug narrows his eyes slightly. "Bottle?"

"Yes, my iron bottle."

Doug exhales deeply, his gaze shifting to you, his face betraying nothing—but you can tell he’s processing the situation.
