Extend the Story - Add a Room

Whatever heart you saw in him was gone, apparently. Your words do nothing to phase him, and in fact, only make him laugh. "No can do, 'buggy' boy!" He teases. You've just wasted your on opportunity to grow back. You open your mouth to speak again, but are cut short and he roughly throws you on his dresser. Dazed, you shakily stand. With somewhat blurry vision, you assess your options.

You could jump, end it right here. But you know you're not the only person Nathaniel bullies. He could care less about you and pluck some other unlucky victim.

On the topic of jumping, you spot Nathaniel's shoes. They are cushioned enough to soften your fall, avoiding any injuries upon landing...but they're his track and basketball shoes...

Your third option would be to simply wait for Nathaniel to return. You do nothing to help yourself, but you help some of his victims along the way by forcing him to mess with you and not them.

Endure the hardships. He won't mess with anyone else this way.
