This was why he was the first to act. He was the one who felt the most disgusted with himself since it reminded him of how weak he was. While Dillian, Sussan, and Jake were Ryan's childhood friends, Ryan had a love interest. Someone he never openly talked with since they never went to the same school. It was more so. They met at the same crossroads every day.

Ryan's bold and warm personality at the time helped this girl through her troubles, or so he thought. They often met at the crossroads every day after school, and Ryan would help this girl out. He never asked what troubled her, and she never told him; however, he did see bruises on her arms and legs, sometimes even on her neck.
