After a week, we built up a relationship and became friends.
It turns out that he's an avid reader, and also loves writing stories, although he's not very good at it.
This weekend, I went for a walk and saw a familiar guy in a small laundry shop.
It was Aziel, and he looked tired. I called out to him, but he didn't turn around.
While he was sitting there, a well-dressed man approached him and shouted, "GET BACK TO WORK!" I overheard it and saw Aziel apologize before returning to work with an awkward expression on his face.
I felt terrible for Aziel, not realizing how difficult his life was.
The next day, I went to school and looked for Aziel. I asked his classmate where he was, and they told me he was absent.
This was unexpected, but I remembered how tired he looked the day before.
I asked his sister what happened, and she told me that Aziel had applied for a job as a laundry worker at a shop far from their home.
He needed the job to support their mother, who had cancer. I was shocked by this news and felt terrible for Aziel.
I tried to comfort his sister so she could feel better.
