Sophie, Marcus, Fiona and Dwayne were in the same class back then. There are 10 classes in the Dark Umbrella academy.
Dwayne: "Hehehe… Fiona… hello, good day.."
Fiona: "Hmm?...Day…"
Dwayne: "Hmm."
She didn't really react, she just looked at him… then walked on.
Sophie: "Hmmph… Should you really smile at that girl?"
Dwayne: "Why? I don't know any other woman worth giving a smile to."
Sophie: "Huh?…"
Marcus: "mmm…."
Dwayne: "Hehehe… Sophie… are you jealous?…"
Sophie: "What?... Hmph… jealous of what? That she needs a stick to walk because her foot is gone? Or that she has white hair like an old woman?"
Dwayne: "Hmph…"
They sat down…
Sophie: "Hmph…."
Fiona: "Hahhh.."
Sophie: "Huh?"
She saw some boys slowly sneaking toward Fiona…
Sophie: "Huh?"
Dwayne: "Hmm?"
Marcus: "oh oh…"
Fiona: "…huh.."
Classmate: "Take this!"
(Splash)
He threw a dead frog with water into her face…
(Splash)
Fiona: "mhm!….ugh…."
Dwayne: "ughh."
Sophie: "gross…."
Marcus: "Hmmm.."
Classmate: "What's wrong?… huh?… hehehehehe…"
Fiona: "Hmmm.."
Marcus: "ugh."
Dwayne: "ughh.."
She took the remains of the frog and looked at it… didn't cry… just looked… then went to the garden…
Dwayne: "ughh.."
Marcus: "Huh?"
Sophie: "hmm?"
Sophie watched… Fiona went to the garden… and buried the frog… then returned.
Classmate: "Tssss…."
Fiona: "Animals… also have the right to live… Steven… How about you fight me directly instead of a poor frog…"
Classmate: "What did you say.."
He stood up and grabbed her dress.
Classmate: "You slut!"
Fiona: "I am a virgin… your mother is not… which means the probability that your mother is a slut is higher… aren't you her stepson?… Wasn't she once a prostitute… voluntarily?… As far as I know you don't even know your father.."
Steven: "ugh."
Dwayne: "pffff.."
Marcus: "ughhh… oh boy.."
Sophie: "Hehehe… is that true Steven?... you're the son of a prostitute?"
Steven: "That's not true!"
Fiona: "It is true. Your sister Nadja told me… and she said I should say it if you annoy me…"
Steven: "ughhhh… you… bitch…"
Fiona: "Hmmm… let me go now…"
Steven: "Or what?"
Fiona: "Hmm.."
Steven: "Will you scream then… cry?"
Fiona: "Hahhh…."
She just looked at him…
Steven: "You're so… annoying…"
Dwayne: "Hahh."
He grabbed his shoulder.
Dwayne: "Alright that's enough, let her go…"
Steven: "Or what…"
Dwayne: "Or I'll punch you in the face and believe me… it will hurt!"
Steven: "You would hit me for her!"
Fiona: "Not necessary… I can defend myself…"
She bit his nose.
Steven: "aaaaarghhhhh.."
He let her go.
Steven: "You… bitch…"
Fiona: "Hmmm…."
Dwayne: "Hehehe.."
Fiona: "Thank you Dwayne…"
Dwayne: "You're welcome."
She went back to her seat.
Dwayne: "hmmm.."
Marcus: "You're really in love with her, huh…"
Dwayne: "Huh?… hehehe… maybe…"
Marcus: "Hmph…."
Sophie: "mmm… I have to say Steven is really annoying…"
Dwayne: "Look at that… are you on Fiona's side?"
Sophie: "Never… I just don't like Steven…"
Dwayne: "But you don't like Fiona…"
Sophie: "ughh… um… (cough)… before… but not anymore… now more in the middle… neutral.."
The teacher came, it was Meliodas.
Meliodas: "Alright my dear ones… please quiet… today we talk about a topic… being human…"
Sophie: "hmm."
Meliodas: "We are humans… we make mistakes… we are living beings… we have our limits… and that is okay…"
Sophie: "(sweats)… is this a therapy session?"
Dwayne: "Can we talk about something else… something that might interest us…"
Meliodas: "Do you have a suggestion.."
Dwayne: "…um… relationships…"
Meliodas: "(sweats)… just say biology… (cough)… you are too young for that, Dwayne… oh by the way I received complaints that you stare at women…"
Dwayne: "I only stare at Fiona…"
Marcus: "(sweats) that honestly doesn't make it better… dude show some shame!"
Sophie: "(sweats)… he's right…"
Marcus: "hahh.."
Meliodas: "Dwayne… I think you should leave Fiona alone… ok?…"
Dwayne: "…why… I didn't do anything bad… otherwise she would have said it bothers her…"
Meliodas: "…Hahhh… if you say so… alright… back to being human… humans are allowed to make mistakes… the important thing is never give up… things you love as long as they aren't bad… never give up… and Dwayne staring at women is a… bad habit… you should give that up…"
The class laughed.
(30 minutes later)
Meliodas: "Alright break 10 minutes… um… Dwayne I would like to talk to you…"
He said before Dwayne left the class.
Dwayne: "Yes?"
Meliodas: "Listen… Dwayne… Fiona is a very sensitive girl… she saw how her step-parents tried to kill her… she was also in Howgarts experiments… not to mention she is still traumatized…"
Dwayne: "mmm.."
Meliodas: "I know you like Fiona… but don't overwhelm her… you can't just stare at her and just because she says nothing doesn't mean it's okay… Fiona is afraid or doesn't know how to deal with others…"
Dwayne: "mmm.."
Meliodas: "I don't mean it in a bad way… I think Fiona also doesn't mind you being near her… just be careful… ok… oh… and never touch her shoulder… that scares her…"
Dwayne: "Was it really that bad?"
Meliodas: "Hm?"
Dwayne: "Those Howgarts experiments?"
Meliodas: "Well… if you think bathing in the blood of deceased former students is not bad…"
Dwayne: "ughh…"
Meliodas: "Yes they are bad… she was forced to experience things like blood baths, electric shocks and other torture methods… be nice to her…"
Dwayne: "Ok.."
(Several hours later)
It was cafeteria time.
Marcus: "Hey Fiona sit next to us… then no one bothers you while eating…"
Dwayne: "Yeah come…"
Fiona: "mm?…"
She sat next to Dwayne.
Dwayne: "next to me… ugh… I thought you were angry at me…"
Fiona: "Because you stared at me… no… it's fine…"
Dwayne: "hmmm…"
They started eating… he noticed Fiona's arm had several bandages…
Dwayne: "hmmm.."
Fiona: "mmm…"
Dwayne: "(blushes)… (she's cute)…"
Steven: "hehehe… look what Fiona is eating… instead of rice she eats rice with honey… hahahahaha…"
Marcus: "That's because she can only taste sweet things…"
Dwayne: "Leave her alone, asshole…"
Steven: "What did you say?"
Sophie: "Hmm?…?"
Dwayne: "I said leave her alone!"
Steven: "Dwayne why do you even like her… hmm?… is it because she touched you even though you have a curse that causes others pain… she would never do it… never again…"
Dwayne: "ughh.."
Fiona: "mmm.."
Suddenly Fiona held Dwayne's hand.
Dwayne: "ughh.."
Steven: "ughhh.."
Dwayne: "Let go… Fiona…"
Fiona: "…I don't like it when people disturb me while eating… or annoy my friends… can you please leave…"
Steven: "Huh?"
He took her food and poured it over her head.
(Splash)
Marcus: "ugh."
Dwayne: "ughh!"
Sophie: "Steven that's too far!"
Fiona: "ughh… hhhhh…"
Steven: "Hehehe… what… you like honey… don't you…"
Dwayne: "You bastard…"
Fiona stood up…
Fiona: "I… will go wash myself…"
Steven: "Hehe…"
She went to wash herself and missed lunch break and had to return to class…
Steven: "Hmm."
He was at his desk… Fiona slowly walked toward him…
Steven: "huh!"
And he got the tip of the staff straight into his eye.
Steven: "AAAAAAAAARGHHHHHHHH…"
Dwayne: "Fiona!"
Marcus: "Don't!"
Fiona: "Hghhhh… does that hurt! huh!!!"
Steven: "urrkkk!"
Dwayne pulled Fiona back…
Dwayne: "hahh… damn… Fiona… his eye…"
Steven: "ghhhhhh…"
Fiona: "ghhhh…"
Meliodas: "What is going on… ughh… come quickly…"
He held Steven's hand… and looked at his eye.
Meliodas: "Phew… luckily it's not deep enough that you lose your eye… you're bleeding but come…"
Steven: "It was Fiona!"
Dwayne: "Hey… who poured the hot damn food over her head?!"
Sophie: "Excuse me Mr. Meliodas… but I think Steven is just pretending it's so bad… it's bleeding yes, but he has a damn glasses… that blocked most of it… also he annoyed Fiona today…"
Steven: "Ghhh… Sophie!.. I thought you didn't like her…"
Sophie: "Just because I don't like her doesn't mean I defend you now… one must recognize limits…"
Steven: "Ghhh…"
Meliodas: "Alright you two… come with me…"
He took Steven and Fiona.
Meliodas: "Steven why are you being mean to Fiona?"
Steven: "Huh?.. she hit me…"
Fiona: "Because you threw hot food on my head! If it wasn't honey, it would have hurt more, it was still hot… but still, you can't just do that… because of you I'm still hungry!"
Steven: "Because of you my eye… or rather my forehead… bleeds…"
Meliodas: "Enough now… Steven… you never do that again. And Fiona, you don't hit anyone even if they do it…"
Fiona: "…so that means… I can't defend myself or what?… why don't you tell him to stop hurting me… or is it okay if I'm in pain!?"
Meliodas: "ughhh…"
Steven: "…(silent)… mmm.."
Fiona: "…you… adults… are mean…"
Meliodas: "ughh…"
Fiona: "you pick your favorite students… and the kids who don't fit… you just let go…"
Meliodas: "ughh… hmmm…"
Steven: "Uh…"
Meliodas: "Hahhh… apologize Steven… please…"
Steven: "Hahh… fine… I'm sorry…"
Meliodas: "huh."
He wanted to touch her shoulder…
Meliodas: "No!"
He held her.
Fiona: "huh!!"
(Reminder!)
Howgarts: "Hehehe… Fiona…"
He wrapped his body around her from behind…
Howgarts: "You have such soft skin… hehehe…"
(End of memory)
Fiona: "aaaaaaaaaaaaaarghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"
Steven: "ughh… I… did nothing…"
Meliodas: "Fiona… calm down… Howgarts is not here anymore… he is dead… ok… calm down…"
Fiona: "Hahhh… hahhh… hahhhh.."
Steven: "ughhh…"
Fiona: "ughhh…"
Steven: "huh."
The door opened. Right then Dwayne came out…
Dwayne: "Fiona!"
He hugged her.
Dwayne: "Hey… hey… it's okay… it's okay… hey…"
Fiona: "Hahhh… hahhhh… hahhhh… hahhhh… hahhh… bbbb."
She pushed away and vomited…
Meliodas: "Hahhhh…"
Steven: "ughh…"
Dwayne: "What did you do… Steven…"
Steven: "ugh… nothing… really…"
Meliodas: "It's okay… Steven… you did nothing… hahh."
Sophie: "Hmmm…"
Steven: "ughh…"
Dwayne: "ugh…"
Meliodas: "Hmm Marcus come out… I want to talk to you too… Marcus, Dwayne, Sophie and Steven come with me… Fiona stay nearby… ok… Ms. Valentine will take care of you…"
He took the four of them into his office.
Meliodas: "You did nothing seriously bad… Steven… but… Fiona suffers from severe trauma… there was… well… in the Howgarts clinic… many girls… and well, they experienced… abuse…"
Sophie: "Abuse?"
Dwayne: "Huh?.. we already know that."
Steven: "ughh… they don't mean… not rape!?"
Sophie: "ughuh!"
Dwayne: "What!"
Steven: "My father was a police officer…."
Marcus: "Abuse, what is that… what is rape..?"
Sophie: "hahh…"
She held his ears.
Sophie: "If a woman… her body is violated…"
Meliodas: "Wait… it wasn't that bad… it was… not rape… but there was body contact… nothing to forget that Fiona survived only because she didn't stay as long as the others…"
Sophie: "I was there too… but I only remember… that he… did it to me once…"
Meliodas: "Over time Howgarts dared more… Jeffrey Howgarts was a really… creepy guy… only Noelle, Parzival, Fiona and Sophie survived his experiments… some within 8 months took their own lives… Fiona also tried once… but she couldn't… Ms. Valentine accidentally heard how she was in pain… anyway… there is some trauma… I heard you guys once restrained her while showering."
Sophie: "You mean the boys… we heard… only Dwayne and Marcus were against it…"
Meliodas: "Now… whenever Fiona has shower time… there is a teacher with her… and her eyes are covered as well as her ears… the reason is… she often experienced cruel things in a shower room… for example, once water was replaced with the blood of deceased children from the experiments… in truth it wasn't from children but from animals… still… traumatizing… the first time Fiona showered without these protections… we only heard her screams."
(Reminder)
Meliodas: "We are here, ok.."
Fiona: "Hahhh.."
She went in…
(Splash!)
The water started to fall… but… the sound of the water hitting… scared her… and she screamed.
Fiona: "aaaaaaaaaaaarghhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
(End of memory)
Meliodas: "Do you understand… Steven… please… Fiona has suffered enough… don't you think.."
Steven: "ughhh… ok… I… will apologize to her again…"
Dwayne: "hmmm.."
Sophie: "…I… probably should too…"
Dwayne: "Hmm?… Since Fiona's first trauma state you've left her alone…"
Sophie: "Maybe… but I should have understood how she felt… I was there too in those experiments… luckily they took me away… because my older sister came… from Demari…"
Meliodas: "Ok… good… that's it for now…"
(Several minutes later)
Steven: "Fiona…"
Fiona: "…huh?"
Steven: "I… I'm sorry for being so mean…"
Fiona: "ok…"
Steven: "Huh… so fast?.. aren't you angry..?"
Fiona: "…I hurt your eye… I'm sorry…"
Steven: "Oh… it's fine… I can still see…"
Fiona: "hmmm…"
Steven: "I… will pay for your food… say what you want…"
Fiona: "huh?.. what I want?"
Steven: "Yes… no matter how expensive it is…"
Fiona: "uhm… no matter how expensive it is?.. Hmm.."
Steven: "Hmm?"
Fiona: "I want a cake… a strawberry one…"
Steven: "Huh?.. that's it."
Fiona: "Yes."
Steven: "But… that's the cheapest cake…"
Fiona: "Yes…"
Steven: "Are you sure?"
Fiona: "Mhm…"
Steven: "Ok…"
They sat down…
Ms. Valentine: "So… guys… before you start with nature class you will shower now…"
(A few minutes later)
Dwayne: "hmmm… I wonder if Fiona is okay…"
(Meanwhile)
(Splash)
Fiona: "…huh.."
Ms. Valentine: "Good… mhm…"
But the bandage… suddenly fell…
Ms. Valentine: "huh!"
Fiona: "ughhuh!"
(Splash!) (Splash)
(Reminder)
(Splash)
Fiona: "hahhh… hahhh.."
Blood… flowing from the shower…
(Splash)
(End of memory)
Fiona: "aaaaaaaaarghhhhhh!!!"
She screamed loudly.
(A few minutes later)
Dwayne: "Hmm?"
Fiona: "…(silent)"
Sophie: "The bandage fell…"
Dwayne: "ugh…"
Marcus: "This can't continue like this… Can't they just change the shower?.. or redesign it…"
Sophie: "Yes… you're right… that would be best for her…"
Fiona: "…hhhh.."
Sophie: "Hmmm…"
They sat next to Fiona.
Sophie: "…hey… Fiona…"
Fiona: "huh!"
She startled.
Sophie: "Ogh… shhhh… it's okay… I'm not going to hurt you…"
Fiona: "hahhh.."
She trembled…
Sophie: "It's… it's okay… I won't hurt you…"
Fiona: "ughh… hhhh… Sophie… what happened…"
Sophie: "Oh… they just brought you back into this room… this is the infirmary…"
Marcus: "hmmm.."
Fiona: "ohh…"
Sophie: "Are you okay?"
Fiona: "Yes… I think… already…"
Sophie: "…hmm… should we leave you alone."
They wanted to leave… but she suddenly held Sophie's hand and Dwayne's hand…
Sophie: "huh.."
Dwayne: "ugh."
Fiona: "No… please… stay… hahhh.. please…"
Sophie: "Huh?"
Dwayne: "oh…"
Marcus: "oh… me too?"
Fiona: "You too, yes please…"
Marcus: "hmm."
They looked at each other… then smiled slightly…
Marcus: "Ok…"
Sophie: "Hahh… I think this is okay…"
Dwayne: "Ok…"
(A few minutes later)
Meliodas: "Hahh… Nanu?!"
They slept in the same bed…
Dwayne: "(snoring).."
Sophie: "haahhhhh…"
Fiona: "hhhh.."
Marcus: "mm.."
Meliodas: "ohh…"
Ms. Valentine: "What is it.."
Meliodas: "shhh… leave… they seem… to have become friends… hehe… these kids.."
(A few minutes later)
Marcus: "Hehehe… Dwayne… wait… don't run…"
Dwayne: "Ah come on… I can't wait… finally to have fun in nature class… nature is fun.."
Marcus: "Hahh.."
But right where he stood… the stairs suddenly… broke…
Marcus: "ugh."
Dwayne: "ughh.."
Marcus: "hahh."
Dwayne: "Marcus!"
He held Dwayne's hand.
Marcus: "Wait, hold on…"
Dwayne: "Let go… or you'll die too…"
Marcus: "…No… you're my buddy!"
Dwayne: "ghhh…"
Marcus slipped, Dwayne fell down then smiled slightly.
Dwayne: "Marcus… take care of Sophie and Fiona…"
Marcus: "ugh… what are you planning."
He let go of Marcus' hand…
Marcus: "ughh.."
Dwayne: "Sorry… it didn't last long…"
(Crash!)
Marcus: "ughhh… hahhh…"
