Inability to Look Directly at Sakai-kun

What kind of person is Sakai Ren?

His neighbors say, "Disgusting. Just looking at him makes me sick."

His classmates say, "A monster whose gender is anyone's guess. The thought that a monster like him is breathing the same air under the same sky as me makes me want to puke."

Even the oriole on the branch says, "How does he have the nerve to keep living? If it were me, I'd have died ages ago, hehe."

Malice soaked Sakai Ren like corrosive slime, and he accepted it quietly, silently, without putting up any resistance, like a docile lamb.

I see. So that's what kind of person Sakai Ren is.

So people turned to him and asked, "They say all that about you. Doesn't it make you angry?"

The lamb shook its head.

People asked, "When they hit you, why didn't you cry out? Why didn't you fight back?"

The lamb opened its soft, pale hands and shook its head.

People asked again, "Were you happy when they went missing?"

At last, the lamb lifted its head and gave a perfect smile, showing eight teeth. Bloody scraps of flesh clung to its bone-white teeth, as if they were singing a moving lament.

And then people understood: What a wicked lamb, to be happy at someone else's misfortune! It deserves to die!

* First person narration

* The protagonist's gender is unknown, and that's the setting. They may be male, female, or intersex, but they are "unknown" (emphasis!). That's how the author designed them. You can use One as a reference.

* The protagonist's personality is portrayed through tearful cat energy. The story's direction is wildly unhinged, and OOC is warned.

* Although the blurb may seem literary, this is actually an outrageously melodramatic story about putting Juan'er through the wringer. Updates whenever.

Theme: Treasure every little bit of happiness around you.
