Computer Use check: rolled 95 [failure]
You tell her everything about the bullying incident, but you leave out that it was Toranosuke’s idea. You feel more comfortable that way. It’s not a full lie, but it hides the worst part of your history with him.
She nods slowly, then turns to her computer. "Now, watch. I’ll find out who the cyberbully is. Almost no one is really anonymous online. I’ll show you."
She copies the blog’s username into a search engine and explains while typing. "Most people reuse the same name on multiple websites. That gives us a trail across different sites, and sometimes even social media."
She spends a few minutes digging through pages and cross-referencing names. Then she frowns. "Strange. This person has no online presence at all. That usually means they don’t use the internet much. Or they’re being careful."
"Ah... So there’s nothing we can do?"
"It’s okay. I saved everything and will forward it to the Cyber Affairs bureau. They can trace the IP address and find out who posted it. I have your number, so I’ll let you know when we find anything."
She looks at you again. "Your face is bruised. Did you get in a fight?"
You explain about your new school, the two bullies, and how you got a concussion.
"Well," she says, "it’s good that you fought back. They might think twice next time. You should take the week off to heal. And if you want, I could teach you some basic self-defense."
"Thank you. I really appreciate your help."
She smiles. "It’s nothing. It sounds like a lot of people are giving you a hard time. It’s not right. I want to help make things better."
After drinking a Coke, you thank her again and head back to the car. Eishi is waiting, and silently drives you home. On the ride back, her words linger in your mind. You’ve spent most of your life surrounded by cruelty, but maybe not everyone is like that.
What will you do?
