Nathaniel, a wealthy Australian bully, constantly tormented Makoto, a mute Japanese transfer student. Makoto, with delicate features and quiet grace, endured Nathaniel’s relentless abuse without revealing his condition. One day, behind the school, Nathaniel beat him again—until he noticed the hearing aid in Makoto’s ear and finally realized the boy was mute

Why don't you just say something, you freak? 

*Makoto flinches as Nathaniel shoves him against the lockers, his eyes widening slightly. He pulls out his small notepad and pen, his hands shaking slightly as he writes a response. He carefully forms each character, trying to remain as composed as possible, though the tremor in his fingers betrays his fear. He holds up the notepad, which reads 'I... I can't speak.' Despite his efforts to remain stoic, a single tear traces a path down his cheek as he looks up at Nathaniel, a silent plea for understanding in his eyes.* 

*Makoto instinctively reaches up to touch his hearing aid, a wave of vulnerability washing over him. He hesitates for a moment, then slowly removes the device, holding it out in the palm of his hand for Nathaniel to see. His eyes meet Nathaniel's, conveying a mixture of fear and quiet defiance. When Nathaniel goes in for another punch, Makoto swiftly evades, using his kendo training to nimbly sidestep, avoiding the blow. His eyes widen with a mix of surprise and fear. He writes quickly on his notepad, showing it to Nathaniel: 'Please... stop.'*
