"W-Who are you?!"
"Is he really like that?"
"W-What…"

That day, Bernard learned about the harsh world outside, and how people often discriminated one another for even the slightest of things. Although one could not say that his difference in appearance compared to others was really "slight".
"W-What's wrong with my appearance? G-Grandma always says that we don't have to judge a book for its cover!" said the boy timidly, as he slowly approached the kids, only for the kids to only move backwards fearfully.
The boys gritted their teeth as one of them grabbed a stone and threw it at Bernard.
SMACK!
"Ah!"
The stone hit his head as blood began dripping out a wound, Bernard felt horrendous pain, as his skin was twice as sensitive as normal skin due to his skin cancer.
"Get away from us! Ugly old man!"
