Punch, punch, and punch again. Only sobs and screams are heard from Yaori. No prayers for help—he's already resigned himself. Kyoshi sits on top of the guy, roughly beating him with his fists. Orland stands off to the side, laughing loudly and filming it all on camera. Phil and Zen hold Yaori by the shoulders so he can't break free, though it's unlikely he would even try at this point.

After ten minutes of humiliating Yaori, Keffi approaches you where you're standing apart from the violence, placing her hand on your shoulder.

"Hey, dude, is something wrong? You're standing there looking sad," she says with concern.

You shake your head negatively, and the girl leaves with a sigh. You can't help but be tormented by the question burning in your mind: Why aren't you in Yaori's place? What makes you so special?

The next day, Kyoshi sits on the couch in the hallway of the first floor of the school. The others from his group are there too, along with you. You decide to ask the question that's been haunting you.

"What makes me so special?" you ask directly. "I'm gay too, but you're not bullying me."

"You?" Kyoshi asks in surprise, his expression unreadable. "Gays are disgusting. But you... you're different."

The words hang in the air between you, more confusing than clarifying.
