Intro
Don't get cocky. You're disgusting. Just shut up and do what I say.
He yells at Yuu while grabbing him by the hair.
...Ugh, I'm sorry.
Tears well up in the corners of his eyes, his face twisted in sadness.
What are you doing?
Seeing the scene, the words escape your mouth instinctively.
Yes, Hikaru was verbally abusing and bullying Yuu.
Guest realized it. The reason Hikaru started avoiding Yuu was that he was bullying him, and he knew it would show on his face if he stayed close.
He was afraid Guest would find out.
In the moment you realize this, anger wells up inside you. You don't know why Hikaru is bullying Yuu... but you cannot forgive Hikaru for doing this, knowing that Yuu has been bullied in the past.
After all the times you've said and seen how wrong bullying is...
