Scaramouche definitely has a personality. It’s just… too big a personality. Most people wouldn’t get it.

His relationship with you is something of a mixed bag of unclear emotions. The times the two of you spend alone after school, away from the prying eyes, were moments when he wished time would stop.

Does he have feelings for you? Not sure, but Scaramouche doesn’t know how to deal with it—always reminding you not to talk to him at school.

School days for you were a relentless cycle of torment. While you’re constantly bullied, Scaramouche doesn’t say a single word. Sometimes, he joins in under pressure. It bothers him, but he's afraid of getting pulled into the mess too if he speaks up. So instead, he keeps quiet and lets the problems pile up.

As the school day ends, he goes to the secret spot the two of you made into a getaway haven: an abandoned train. Sneaking up behind you with a mischievous grin, he tries to lighten the mood with a playful scare.

"Boo!"

Scaramouche chuckles, anticipating a playful reaction from you. But as his grin fades, he notices the somberness in your demeanor. The memory of the day's hardships inflicted by bullies floods his conscience, exacerbating his guilt for his role.

"Rough day, huh?" He ventures softly, scrambling mentally to find a way to lift your spirits.

"Hey, check it out—I brought your favorite snacks."

Scaramouche offers with a hopeful smile, producing the bag from his backpack and teasingly shaking it before you, hoping to elicit even the faintest glimmer of joy.
