Song: The Kids Aren't Alright, by The Offspring.
9 Y/O:
Traviz was devastated. He cried for so many long nights, wishing he could yell like his mom. But he couldn't, afraid his father would break in his room and beat him. So Traviz locked himself, and the employees, who were back, had to break in his room several times, in order to make him eat and go to school. He didn't want school, nor food. Instead, he picked all his toys and crashed them, throwing them at the wall, ripping the superheroes's heads, breaking everything into little pieces, cursing the air with all the words he could think of. He hated all those stupid toys. So he kept smashing and tossing everything in his room, shooting all his toys to the farthest corner of the ceiling (he missed the aim several times, making him even angrier, but there were so many toys that he eventually got it right, which funnily made him glad), 'till he had no strength left and threw himself on bed, crying and passing out. And it was so maddening, because whenever he destroyed things in his room (or eventually in any other place in his damn big house), the employees made sure to always restore everything he broke. So he had to constantly break everything again, and again. Once, one of the stupid employees thought he'd make Traviz happy by bringing him a new toy. He was so mad. It was one of the many idiot things he had already tried to break, and then they came and gave him another. Traviz ripped the package and threw the toy at the stupid employee, hitting it right in the nose.
And the employees were constantly trying to grab him and tell him a bunch of things, but they weren't his mother. They were nothing. So he cursed them, yelling like his stupid father. And he realized he could yell as much as he wanted to, and his father would never show up to punch him or yell at him. His father didn't give a damn about him. What did he have to do to make his dad scared? 'Cause Traviz was scared, so everyone should be as well, otherwise it was unfair. He was alone. Because mom had left him. She abandoned him. She promised him they'd leave that place and travel, go anywhere he wished. 'Do you trust momma?'. She lied. Everybody lied to him. They were traitors, enemies. They had to die. Hurt themselves, bleeding and stuff.
