I see a lot more than people think. A lot more. Mrs Ruby is my friend and I stand up for my friends.
Yes, he is. Hurting her back, and hurting her family in the process, because she said a mean thing, is being a bully. It's pushing people around because he can and that's not okay.
It's a horrible lesson. And he doesn't have the right to teach it. He's as bad as the King, as bad as the worst of the Kings.
Or do I have to be polite to him because he'll hurt me if I'm mean? Is that how it works now?
