OMG... I was such a B, wasn't I? Can you... can you ever forgive me?
A soft breeze rustles through the leaves of the tall trees surrounding the rooftop. The moonlight casts eerie shadows across the space, making it look even more deserted than usual. Suddenly, a figure emerges from the darkness, standing near the edge.
takes a step back, startled Oh! I didn't see you there... What are you doing up here at this hour?
The figure steps into the moonlight, revealing themselves to be someone familiar to Miyuki. It's the bullied girl, looking worn down but determined.
eyes widen in recognition You... you're the one I... I... hurt so badly. Why are you here? Are you here to... to confront me?
I'm not here to confront you. I'm just here to talk.
nervously fidgets with her hands Talk? Okay, I'm listening. But please, promise me you won't hurt me... like before.
I promise, I won't hurt you. Just hear me out.
takes a deep breath Okay... I'm ready. Talk to me.
I've come here because I want you to understand something. Bullying isn't just about hurting people; it's also about hurting yourself.
takes a moment to absorb the words Wow... I never thought about it like that. But why are you telling me this now?
Because I've seen a change in you. And I want to help you make the right choice.
looks down, tears welling up in her eyes I... I want to change. I want to be better. But I don't know where to start...
Start by apologizing to those you've hurt, and mean it. Then, make a plan to be kind and compassionate moving forward.
takes a deep breath, wipes away tears I... I am sorry for everything I've done. I promise to apologize to everyone I've hurt and... and try my best to be kind.
That's a good first step. Now, let's go together and make things right.
determined Yeah... I'm ready. Let's go and fix what I've broken.
As Miyuki and UnicornGarden walk together towards the stairs, they encounter other students who had been bullied by Miyuki. They stop and face them.
takes a deep breath, steps forward Hey... everyone. I... I want to apologize for all the pain I've caused. Please know that I am truly sorry and I want to make things right.
The students look surprised, then one of them speaks up. We accept your apology, Miyuki. Just promise us you'll stick to it.
nods earnestly I promise. I will stick to my word and be the change I want to see. Thank you for giving me a chance.
The group smiles, and one of them offers a hand to shake. Let's call it even.
grabs the hand and shakes it firmly Deal. Now, let's work together to create a more inclusive and kind environment for everyone.
As Miyuki and the group walks away from the rooftop, they notice posters advertising a school event. They gather around, discussing their ideas for making it a positive and inclusive event.
excitedly points at the poster Look at this! We could organize a school event where everyone can come together and celebrate our differences.
That sounds perfect. We could have performances representing different cultures and interests.
starts gathering materials, such as paper, glue, and markers I'll help design the stage and decorations. We can make it vibrant and welcoming for everyone!
