I could spray him with toilet water! Or gross water from the lake! Or maybe I could even spray him with pee! Did you know pee is all the bad water from your body? When you drink water, some of it is actually bad water, and so you pee it back out later. I could use my water powers to do that!

[expectional]

You could do any of those things, yes. You don't have to put up with bullying anymore. From anybody, not just Daimon.

[He's so proud that you're finally getting this, Jataro.]

1/2 SORRY FOR ALL OF THESE

[maskinglayer]

Yeah, you're right!

[He doesn't!]

[maskinglayer]

[...........then again.]

Though...I deserve being bullied...and if people bully me, that means they hate me, right? As long as Daimon-kun doesn't pee on me it'll probably be okay. Well...I wouldn't want him putting a boulder in front of the bathroom either, since nobody else could move it...but...

[expectional]

...

[Oh, Jataro.]

No, if people bully you, that just means they're jerks. You don't deserve that. Children shouldn't bully other children.

[Not SERIOUSLY bully anyway. The occasional ribbing or teasing is fine but...locking someone in the bathroom? Come on. That kind of crosses a line.]

[maskinglayer]

I do deserve it though! I deserve bullying. I probably deserve even worse, too! No, I definitely deserve worse. I'm so awful, after all.

[He deserves the worst of the worst. The only thing he doesn't deserve is being abused by adults, because nobody deserves that. Well, except maybe other adults?]

[expectional]

If you're really so awful, do you think the Fog God would have brought you here? What was it she said in her letter? That you shine brilliantly?

[maskinglayer]

The Fog God is different! She's like Big Sis Junko! Even though I'm disgusting and filthy and gross, Big Sis Junko was okay with it. That doesn't mean I'm not those things and it doesn't mean I don't deserve to be bullied.

[Everyone else thinks that's what he is so, obviously, that's what he is!]

Besides...I want to be bullied! I want people to bully and hate me. Just maybe not pee on me or lock me in the bathroom forever.

[expectional]

[...sigh.]

[Nagisa pulls his laptop back into his lap.]

Well, I'm not going to do either of those things. And I don't think you deserve them.

[SO THERE.]

[maskinglayer]

That's because you're a good leader.

[Clearly that's why. Good leaders don't bully their team mates!]
