Dps Neil - Tumblr Posts
why am i crying? oh, nothing - just thinking about how todd and neil never got to spend a holiday outside of school together. just the fact they never got to experience christmas and summer break with each other. just that they only knew each other inside of school and they probably never spent time together outside of school because they never had the chance to.
thinking about how welton handled neil's suicide.
the way mr nolan's speech about neil committing seemed rehearsed, how they barely spent any time talking about him and more time talking about the investigation.
it got me thinking... how many students were there before neil? how many, before him, had done the exact same thing for similar or differing reasons.
how many times had mr nolan have to repeat that exact same speech? or maybe it was more heartfelt with the first student, but as each year, yet another students couldn't take it anymore, mr nolan's speech grew shorter and colder.
maybe they covered it up just as well, or even better than, neil's suicide. maybe there were no inspiring teachers back then, no one that gave the students a reason to metaphorically stand on their desks.
i don't know, i'm just... thinking.
