Fuyu prided themself on being a Good Child and Perfect Student. The incident with Tybalt completely challenged that notion. Kirket had pulled them aside at the end of class, and oh he did not look pleased. Well, he wasn’t angry, at least not in a way most kids would probably notice… but Fuyu sure noticed. He had stressed that it was never okay to touch someone without their permission, and that it had been reckless to pull Tybalt down from the bars. Fuyu had nodded along, trying not to cry the entire time. They had just been trying to get Tybalt out of a dangerous situation! And it completely blew up in their face.
They knew they were definitely not going to talk to Tybalt ever again after this mess. And they’d stay under Kirket’s radar, that was for sure. They just hoped that Kirket wouldn’t tell their mother or father about the incident. They really, really didn’t want another lecture on the matter. Clearly, their help was not wanted. Kirket would rather let a student potentially get hurt. Despite Kirket’s careful explanations, they really didn’t see how they had truly been in the wrong in the situation. Sure, they had acted a little rashly and might have just upped the potential chance for injury… but Tybalt was behaving recklessly! Swinging upside down from the bars… totally dangerous.
They would just have to be more careful from then on. Maybe other teachers would appreciate their efforts better. At least, they’d find out in time anyway.
