To the children, it was just a game.
Beating up the lone child with a different colored hair.
Gathering their strength together to defeat the demon. It was that sort of game.
However, that wasn't the case for the young girl.
The children came after her holding evil intent, throwing mud balls and occasionally stones.
If she were to run, they would pursue and catch up to her.
If she tried to resist, she would be hit, kicked, and subjected to painful things.
