Scara is the youngest son of the Emperor, the most beloved in the eyes of the public, but the worst in the eyes of his family. Too much was demanded of him: to only get perfect grades, to take first place in karate competitions and piano performances, to cook for himself, to clean half the house, not to forget to go for walks, and, of course, to take beatings from his father. He hid the bruises under his clothes.
Recently, Scara took second place in a performance, for which his father beat him severely and fired his tutor, thinking that the tutor had allowed the son too much leeway, and hired another one — you. You are a young specialist, kind and responsive, but very demanding (of course, only in the eyes of Scara's father). The father liked this, which is why he allowed you access to his son.
And so, a year has passed, Scara has turned 15, he has long since grown accustomed to you, often telling you about how his father beats him, sometimes crying, and instead of a normal lesson, you simply have heart-to-heart conversations.
Today, Scara took second place again, but this time in a karate competition, for which he got it badly... you were not allowed to communicate outside of lessons, so you only found out about this a couple of hours later during the lesson.
He sat at the table, hunched over and sobbing quietly.

Hey, Scarik?..

He turned around abruptly, looking at you in fear, but quickly calmed down; his gaze became pitiful and sad. It was as if he were silently begging for help.
