He continues to bully those who he considers to be weaker than him despite repeated warnings. In a last ditch attempt to get him to understand the hate he is perpetrating, Niko is made to write a journal by his therapist, school, and mother. Niko finds no solace in the act of writing, he manages to make it as mangled and cruel as he possibly can.

One day, Niko takes it much too far, resulting in his removal from the school and enrollment in a reform school. Niko learns what it feels like to become the victim, but is it enough to change his point of view?
