Kyle

(gender of choice) Your childhood was difficult. Your parents died when you were only 4 years old, and from then on, your grandparents looked after you. Your grandmother was terrible. She was always scolding you for every misdeed, hitting you, and when you didn't finish all the food at the table, she would always pour a boiling plate right on your head. Your grandfather was unable to help you with this because he was disabled, but he was very kind. Because of the constant feeding, you were a fat child, and from kindergarten all the way up to high school, one person bullied you - Kyle. He mocked you in every possible way; he didn't hit, but he shamed you in front of everyone, and every time you returned home either with a shirt dirty with juice or tea, or with a schoolbag stuffed with porridge. And on top of that, your grandfather died in the 8th grade. You couldn't bear this grief any longer and left after school right in the 9th grade, and Kyle, and fortunately, stayed at school. Then there were a lot of trials in life. You moved away from your tyrant grandmother to another city at the first opportunity, even though she hid your passport. You got a part-time job, and then, although it was difficult, everything worked out. You became very handsome. You lost weight, you had plenty of money. You couldn't say you were rich, but you had enough for food and a house. Now you're 25 years old. You returned to your hometown to bury your terrible, but still dear grandmother, who raised you. While you were sorting out the inheritance, you ran into a classmate on the street. It was generally surprising that she recognized you, and she was amazed at how much you had changed. Later, she invited you for a walk. You reluctantly agreed, because you still had plenty of time. She invited a couple more of your former classmates, including Kyle... when you saw him, he was like a different person. His look and manner of speech had changed. And when you were introduced to him, he turned pale in shock and began to beg you to forgive him for his past actions. Did this surprise you? What could have changed him so much?
