Chapter 7 - It is bullied
“It had It's packed lunch thrown on the floor.”
“Yeah. And what are you going to do about it?”
“It will Ask for your name.”
“Pfft. You don't even know his name?”
“Is he important to It?”
“Hmm... actually. Not really, no.”
“Understood. Then It has no reason to know his name.”
"...What? You what? Are you serious? Aiden. My name's Aiden.”
“Aww is wittle Aiden feewing emascuwated? Thia doesn't even know your name even though you're always pissing around and crying for attention like a needy, love-starved, block sucking brat.”
“Shut your wh—”
“It reminds that such language is forbidden by the Terms set forth by School.”
“Didn’t you hear what she just called me?”
“It heard no words which violated the Terms set forth by School.”
“Anyway, aren't you going to apologize? You totally knocked her lunch, right?”
“It proposes that the Price paid will be an apology.”
“I'm not apologizing to some freak.”
“It will accept a counter offer.”
“Nope. An autistic little freak like you that can’t even feel anything? You’re not getting a thing from me.”
“Understood.”
“Huh? Wait, Thia, are you mad?”
“It expresses no such affect.”
“Aww boohoo~ is the little freak and her handler upset?”
“Damn, is that your lunch all over the floor? Wait, who packed it? I heard your mom died in a car crash.”
"..."
“You're disgusting. Why in Jesus Truck-driving Christ would you even say that?”
“That was a little..."
“Oh. Too far?”
“Yeah, man. What the hell?”
“It grants Clarity to It's Observers.”
Aiden: “Oh for ████s sake. What are you talking about now, freak?”
“It predicts that those Observing from a realm beyond our own will not understand the following events without assistance. It has rewound the scene.”
Aiden: “What the hell does that even mean? Say it again in human.”
“It was performing an act beyond the realm of mortal comprehension. It believes no explanation will suffice.”
Classmate A: “She's calling you stupid.”
Aiden: “Shut the f—”
“It reminds that such language is forbidden by the Terms set forth by School.”
Aiden: “█████.”
Amy: “Thia, what happened?”
“It had It's packed lunch thrown on the floor.”
Aiden: “Yeah. And what are you going to do about it?”
“It will Ask for your name.”
Amy: “Pfft. You don't even know his name?”
“Is he important to It?”
Amy: “Hmm... actually. No, not really.”
“Understood. Then It previously had no reason to know his name.”
Aiden: "...What? You what? Are you serious? Aiden. My name's Aiden.”
Amy: “Aww is wittle Aiden feewing emascuwated? Thia doesn't even know your name even though you're a lonely, desperate bellend constantly jerking around his limp, phimotic ego in a pathetic attempt to prove to everyone that he’s a real, alpha, manly, man’s man.”
Aiden: “Shut your wh—”
“It reminds that such language is forbidden by the Terms set forth by School.”
Aiden: “Didn’t you hear what she just said to me?”
“It is intrigued that the smallest divergence in timeline created such variance in insults.”
Amy: “Anyway, aren't you going to apologize? Didn’t you totally knock her lunch?”
Classmate A: “Yeah it was him. I saw it.”
“It proposes the Price paid will be an apology.”
Aiden: “I'm not apologizing to a freak.”
“It will accept a counter offer.”
Aiden: “Nope. Does an autistic little freak like you even feel anything?”
“It does not.”
Aiden: “Then you’re not getting a thing from me.”
“Understood.”
Amy: “Huh? Wait, Thia, are you mad?”
“It expresses no such affect.”
Aiden: “Aww boohoo~ is the little freak and her handler upset?”
Classmate B: “Damn, is that your lunch all over the floor? Wait, who packed it for you? I heard your mom died in a car crash.”
Entire Classroom: "..."
Amy: “You're disgusting. Why in Jesus truck-driving Christ would you even say that?”
Aiden: “That was a little..."
Classmate B: “Oh. Too far?”
Aiden: “Yeah, man. What the hell?”
“It grants Clarity to It's Observers.”
Aiden: “Oh for ████s sake. This again?”
“It repeats this line to maintain continuity. It believes that the previous scenes and those to follow will now be of sufficient Clarity for the Observers from beyond.”
Aiden: “This is why I f—why I hate everything about you. Can’t you just be a normal person for once?”
“It cannot. Acts beyond the realm of mortal comprehension invalidate the potential for normalcy. What cannot be understood cannot be perceived as normal.”
Classmate A: “I think she's calling you stupid again.”
Aiden: “Shut the f—”
“It reminds that such language is forbidden by the Terms set forth by School.”
Amy: “Come on, Thia. Let's go.”
“Understood.”
Aiden: “You're not going anywhere.”
Amy: “What, you shiitake-stained cow muckers still want to keep going?”
“It believes that is their intention.”
Amy: “Well, who cares what they want. Nobody should have to listen to the vile schmidt that they’re saying.”
“It follows, but It posits that leaving will not resolve the situation.”
Classmate B: “Total freak, but at least she's not stupid.”
Amy: “Shut up the hell up, Bransley. You sound like you’re named after some third-rate, bargain bin cereal. Why are you even following us?”
Aiden: “Hey, you ungabunga gorilla b—”
“It reminds that such language is forbidden by the Terms set forth by School.”
Aiden: “Hey, you monkey █████ ████-wrangler. Get back here.”
Amy: “You think those words hurt me? Come on say it again. Pussywillow.”
Classmate B: “Hey, wait. Aiden, it's not a good idea. Look—”
Aiden: “Shut up.”
Amy: “Come on, say it again. Loud enough for those in the back. Do it again. You won't.”
Aiden: “You're a dumb ███████ ████-wrangling █████ of a █████.”
“It clarifies: It has added mosaic to any words spoken which violate the Terms of School. It clarifies: such words were spoken with full profane might in reality.”
Aiden: “There she ███████ goes again. Living in some ██████ up fantasy world nobody can see. ███████ Lala Land-███ █████. Let me spell it out. ███████. Nobody. Can. ███████. Understand. A. ███████. Thing. You're. Saying. You. ███████. Freak.”
Teacher: “Ahem.”
Aiden: “For f—”
“It reminds that such language is forbidden by the Terms set forth by School.”
Amy: “Thumbs up. What she said.”
“It greets Teacher and requests to leave.”
Teacher: “Thank you for asking, Thia. You may leave. Aiden, come with me.”

“The Task is re-education. The Price paid is time in solitary detention. The Task and Price are Just. Despite reneging on what one owes, It always claims It’s dues.”
Amy: “Hm?”
“It was explaining the events obscured in time by three diamonds to the Observers from beyond. It will now retract the Clarity of names.”
“Oh, okay. Are you going to be fine without lunch?”
“It does not feel hunger.”
“You say that... but don't you still eat your packed lunch every day?”
“It does. But as long as the Price is paid, It is not concerned with whatever outcomes follow.”
“Even though today you had strawberries?”
. “It maintains It’s position.”
“Okay, okay. Don't pout. I'll share some lunch with you. I've got lots.”
“It is not emoting.”
“Sure, sure. Say ‘ahhh’.”
“It refuses.”
