When I read about bullying and how that sometimes leads to the victim ending their life, you have to wonder what's going on in that bully's home. I experienced racism for the first time in 6th grade when Damon (although in my mind it was "Demon") used the N-word when my sister came to drop off an umbrella for me. We ignored him, but as I think back on it now, I have to wonder what his home life was like. He wouldn't have known to use that word unless he'd heard it from an adult, y'know? Which, in turn, makes me wonder what Kenny Jones' home life was like that made him a bully.
Lots of important lessons here!

And may you never have to fight on Death Ground again, or confront an enemy who is doing so.
