While each of this series can be read individually as there's no specific order of events. I do implore everyone reading to read The Prologue ahead of reading any specific part.I always sympathised with bullies. It doesn't sound good, but I guess I never wanted to feel like the marks on my body and the scars on my face were "one of those things" that happen. There must be something behind getting shoved, punched, belittled, and demeaned, right? There has to be some meaning. That's why I sympathised, not even out of sympathy.
