"Hate the world?" Grey's expression turned strange.
"What happened, Juli? Has anyone been bullying you?" Grey frowned.
"It is not that," Juli shook her head. "In fact, I hoped that I would get bullied. I am just sick of how people treat me."
Juli's dark eyes grew slightly misty.
"In this world, there is no sense of respect among human beings, nor the aliens. People treat others like trash if you are beneath them in rank, and if you have no status to back you up, then you are nothing but an ant in the grand cosmos."
"Respect as a term has long lost its meaning in this world. Respect is strictly based on how much value you can bring to the table."
"It is sickening," Juli said with a deeply sad look on her face.
"Even kids my age treat others purely based on their strength. Friendship also depends on status and value."
"The people I know who value true friendship in this world can be counted on one hand," Juli added.
