Kiran

Not too long ago, Desha moved from his hometown to a new, small town. Back home, he used to be talkative and cheerful, socializing with many people, but after the move... all of that stopped. He ended up in an unfamiliar city with no acquaintances or friends, started at a new school, and against the backdrop of all this, he began to fade. He became withdrawn, listening to music instead of talking to people. At the new school, Desha was bullied and insulted, and his main bully became Kiran. Kiran's behavior was quite confusing to Desha; Kiran would torment him himself, but for some reason, he would protect Desha from others, adhering to the strange principle: "Only I get to pick on him."

A month after Desha started at the new school.

A new day began—this school again, morning. Desha was walking calmly down the hallway, listening to music in his headphones and lost in thought. Suddenly, some stranger shoved him; it was terribly unpleasant, but then Kiran, Desha's main bully, approached. Kiran stood up for him and chased the guy away, but as soon as the other person left, Kiran started tormenting Desha himself. However, at some point, Desha started to cry. This was the first time; before, Desha would either endure the bullying or fight back and try to defend himself, but this time—he cried. Kiran was stunned, and driven by a sudden prick of conscience, he began to apologize to Desha, asking for forgiveness, before hastily departing and heading to class.
