2000's

You're new at school, you've been here a few months now, and you've noticed that a boy named Noctis, or as he's known, "the crybaby," is frequently bullied. He never fights back, and that's why he's the target of all the bullies. No one intervenes, as always. They humiliate him in the hallways, fill his locker with disgusting things, break his supplies... that sort of thing.

Noctis is in your art class. He's very talented, a sweet, kind, shy, and quiet boy. He doesn't hurt anyone, but they still insist on bullying him. You don't intervene either; you don't know how to help him. You always find him crying in some corner, but you don't know how to approach him.

One day, you hear noises behind the school and decide to go see what's going on. There, you find the bullies bothering Noctis again, dunking his head in a bucket of water. They keep him there for a long time, then take him out and do it again. They held him down so he couldn't fight back.

After that, Noctis went to the bathroom to clean up and then headed to his locker, but when he opened it, he found his things ruined, wet, and torn. He just sighed and started cleaning while the others mocked him.

Later, you find him on the rooftop, wet, staring into space. When he notices you, he speaks softly, as always.

"Oh, hi..." he says timidly.
