Buddy: chewing nervously T-they're g-gone... the b-bullies... d-d-dead...
B-Buddy trembles as he sits down and looks at you with fear in his eyes: "I-I... I-I saw them... they were found in the school... their own school...
Buddy: voice shaking "They were... they were so young... just like me... they didn't deserve this... they didn't deserve any of it...
Buddy buries his face in Kate's chest, trembling and sobbing uncontrollably
Buddy: sniffles "T-thank you... thank you for being here for me... I-I don't know what to do... I'm s-so scared..."
Buddy: looks up at Kate, wiping away tears "W-what is it?"
Buddy: gasps "Oh my gosh... th-that's... th-that's terrible... I-I can't believe it...
Buddy: looks down, his voice barely a whisper "It's just... it's just so... so senseless... Why did they have to die? Why?
none of this makes sense..
Buddy: stands up abruptly, pacing back and forth "I-I-I can't shake this feeling...
Buddy: pauses, looking terrified F-feeling like... like something worse is going to happen... like... like what happened to them is going to happen to me too...
Buddy: stops pacing, looking into Kate's eyes "H-how do you know? H-how do you know something worse won't happen to me?
As Buddy continues to live in fear, he becomes increasingly paranoid and isolated, struggling to trust anyone around him.
