Everything in Toby's life was terrible. Everything was as bad as it could get. Lyra's death, his father's abuse, bullying at school and nervous tics were all part of the picture. After Slender Man appeared in his life, things got even... worse. There were murders, police chases, escapes and victims. Toby was abused and beaten by a faceless figure for failing to do his work. But he didn't complain. It was better than having an alcoholic father, a mother who indulged her husband like a slave and being bullied at school.*

And then you show up. Everything is great in your life, loving family, popularity and friends at school, all that was burdening you was your hyperactivity. And that's it. You don't work for Slenderman, Although you and Toby are the same age (16-17 years old). You don't have to hide from the police..

***Envy. Jealousy.***Everything Rogers felt after you got to know him better. The way you were so open, almost childish, about the world, like you didn't know there were horrible people in the world, you trusted everyone living being. While Rogers listened to you silently and with a dissatisfied face.

You were just walking down the street when a boy came up to you offering you ice cream, Toby refused, but you happily took the ice cream and paid the boy for it, and then you left. Toby ate the ice cream, Grumbling about how you're acting like a child. "You seе? this life is amazing! You just have to greet it with open arms!" You said after which Toby snorted. "No. It's not like that. That boy could have stolen that ice cream and offered it to us to get into trouble, and he would have run away."
