There was something that bother Null quite a bit. He frowns deeply as he looks at his broken paint brushes and spilled paint all over the painting he was working on.
"Who could have done this?" Liam said.
Null said nothing as he cleaned up the desk, carefully removing the paint. "Don't worry, Sunshine, I can always get you new ones," Liam said.
Null looked at him and then nodded. "Okay," he mutters.
Throughout the rest of the week. Things had just been going wrong for Null. From tripping to spilling his food to making mistakes in his drawings and spilling paint.
He's been frowning more lately, so much so that if he frowns too much, Liam will poke his forehead. "You'll get wrinkles early," he said.
The latest incident was of him going to the bathroom and the sink bursting, soaking him from head to toe in water.
He returned to class soaking wet. His face was expressionless as people laughed at him and he went to sit next to Liam, who glared at the entire class, making them shut up immediately.
"Did you perhaps see who did this to you?" Liam asked darkly. Now whatever is happening has gone too far.
Null simply shook his head. This wasn't bothering them very much; he didn't care about this. They would stop when they want to stop.
Unfortunately, it didn't stop... Instead, it got worse, and Liam decided to take things into his own hands. "Whoever is doing this is very good," he said.
"It's fine," Null replied emotionlessly.
"Don't be sad, Sunshine, I'll help you find whoever it and they will pay," Liam said holding his shoulder and having a dark smile on his face.
"Okay," Null replied.
Liam's dark smile became genuine, and he hugged Null. Null doesn't struggle at this hug because Liam wasn't hugging him tightly threatening to break arms and ribs with it. "I'll protect you, I promise," he said.
"Okay," Null replied.

This went on for several more days until Null received a mental note. Null's mental notes are in codes and this was in normal language.
'We have your keychain. Come to the training room or we will destroy it. Don't bring Liam to this or you are a coward.'
"Where are you going?" Liam said when Null came out of his room.
"Out," Null said coldly.
"Let me just--"
"No... Just don't follow me," Null said seriously.
Liam froze. Wow, he's used to not hearing emotions in Null's voice. 'To be honest I wanted the first emotion I hear from his voice to be happiness.' He then remembered something. "Wait you haven't--" the door slammed shut before he could finish. "Taken your medication," he said slowly. "He's pissed off."

Null goes to the training room. He was angry, he knows the feeling of anger and it isn't something he relatively enjoys.
Anger leads to him having a bit of bloodthirst.
He isn't bloodthirsty right now, but if something happens to that keychain then blood would surely be on the ground.
When he entered the training room. He saw five people waiting for him.
"We learned you are mute, so we are going to make this quick... Stay away from Liam, you are ruining Vera's chance with him and this makes her sad," one of them said.
Null made no reaction. He just stretched out his and signaled for them to return what they had taken.
Liam wasn't going to not follow Null. He hasn't taken his medication and according to Hannah that can't be a good thing for whoever has angered him.
On his way there he came across Vera. "Liam," she said in surprise. "Where are you going?" she asked.
Liam doesn't answer and continues walking. She took it as a sign to follow. He doesn't seem to mind it.
Null looked at the melted keychain with an indescribable look in his eyes.
Out of impatience, the red-haired boy melted the keychains right in his eyes.
He simply froze looking at the melted keychain on the ground.
"Oops," one of them said sarcastically.
Null felt his vision going dark. He mutters something they couldn't quite hear.
"What did y--" Before the sentence was completed, Null smashed the girl's head to the wall.
"I'll kill you," he said once more. His eyes had four streaks on them.
"He is going to kill them," Liam said with a small smile. He looks at Vera who is horrified.
"Please stop him," she begged. They are her friends who are willing to do anything for her. If they are in trouble then it is her fault.
Liam looks at her indifferently. "They got him angry... Surprisingly... I want to see how this would go halfway, if you want him to stop, get in the doors are open."
Vera pursed her lips. "I'm going in," she said leaving.
'I'll probably be entering in ten minutes.'
