In a classroom, a levitating skeleton illusion with organs inside it can be seen. A young Rocky then places a plaque under it, which reads: THE TITAN; MEAT TYRANT; OR; VEGGIE KING. The skeleton is then revealed to be holding a chicken leg on one hand, and celery on the other as a teacher walks by and sees it.

Illusion teacher:Very nice work. And how is working with your partner?

Young Rocky:No prob.We're practically best friends now.

Illusion teacher: Then I think you'll do just fine in this class.

Young Rocky:You've done it again,Rocky

Two students then walk in, both from the illusion track. One of them, the dark-haired boy, is holding two books between his armpits as he listens to his friend speaking.

Orange-haired student: Yeah, I killed it in fantasy grudgby this weekend.

Dark-haired student: You just.. didn't do the assignment?

Orange-haired student: I got the new prodigy to do it for me. And all I had to do was pretend to be his friend. Hmm?

Someone sniffles, which is revealed to be Rocky, upset that someone only used him to do the assignment. He dispels the illusion, grabs his bag and runs away in tears.

Orange-haired student: Aw, come on, dude! It was just a joke!

Rocky runs inside a classroom and sits down dejectedly.

Young Rocky: You've done it again,Rocky. Why does this keep happening?

He bangs his head accidentally on the desk behind him; a book from above it hits him

Young Rocky:Ow!

His eyes suddenly turn blue

Young Rocky:Oh, no. No, no, not this!

Illusions of the two students who he encountered earlier escape from behind him and he projects a wide illusion of the forest as the two students approach him

Orange-haired student illusion:Aww, the poor wittle baby got his feewings hurt.

Dark-haired student illusion: Talent can't make up for gullibility.

The two laugh at Rocky, making him feel more dejected.Just then, they hear another voice, attempting to communicate with Rocky.

Unknown student: Um.. Hello there.

an hand waves slowly at Rocky; Someone chuckles and reveals themselves from another desk; it turns out to be a younger Marshall.

Young Marshall:Sorry, I- I was trying to see what wrong, but, I just ended up being horrifying. I.. thought I was the only one that hid here.

Dark-haired student illusion: Uh, who's that?

Orange-haired student illusion: You might as well just do her homework now. Get it over with.

Young Rocky:Go away!

Young Marshall:Are you talking to me?

Young Rocky:All of you!

Marshall smiles, purges through the illusion and sits beside Rocky

Young Marshall:Hey. Sometimes I get wrapped up in my own thoughts too. But my mom taught me a little trick to quiet the voices.

Hr starts inhaling, his hands counting from 1 to 4, and exhaling as his hands count back to 1. Rocky follows the second time, and after, his eyes turn normal again. The illusions start to disappear.
