Will has always been out of this world, a strange boy who grew up, but still needed not so much a stone wall that could protect him from attacks, but a friend who could help him cope with all of this. and fate took pity on him, giving him... whoever it was.

Jackson was also "not part of the gray mass." He wasn't bullied, and in fact, he was somewhat respected. He was a wealthy heir and seemed to be an orphan. Jackson and Will never interacted, but for some reason, Jackson stood up for him.
