I am at the bus stop. Waiting for the bus and thinking: "I just need to keep up until this evening".
The bus arrives. It is crowded. Should I wait for the next one? No, I can't, I will be even more late at school! I get on the bus, moving through the people, I see one empty seat. I am moving towards, arriving in front of the seat, I realize there is a girl sitting on the seat next to it. She looks at me and I feel insecure. I can't move, i will stay stand and not have a sit.
Why is she staring at me so much? Is it because of my messy hair? Or do I have something between my teeth? I forgot to brush them, but I shouldn't have anything between them. Sometimes, people's gaze terrifies me.

I get in the classroom, where the lesson already started. The teacher scolds me, because the whole class was waiting for me to start the test. I walk fast at my place, staring my feet, and take my sit.
The teacher hands out the test to everyone.
My classmates, are so focused and they are writing down their answers on the test. I am just reading the questions over and over again.

At the end of the lesson, I give the test to the teacher. The test is empty. Only my name and surname. The teacher is forced to give me the lowest grade.
The school rule says that if a student has low grades in many subjects needs to go for some period in the after-school activities. In the after-school activities, the students are helped by the professor Grant who is an expert.

I walk in to the room and sit on the first empty seat. Meanwhile, I look around the room and I see something that caught my attention: my favourite brand of Instant Ramen on the desk of the professor.
What do I do?

I ask the professor: How come you like this junk food?
The professor replies immediately, almost as if he had a ready answer
It may not be the healthiest food in the world, but I can't do without it. After all, we all have strengths and weaknesses. Do you like Instant Ramen too?
I'm so into Instant Ramen that i'm ready to reply:
Instant Ramen is my favorite food. To be clear, only homemade fresh pasta is better than Instant Ramen, but you know…I can't even remember the last time I ate fresh pasta.

Well, if you think about it, Instant Ramen is fresh pasta that you can always have with you
While we are talking, I take the Instant Ramen in my hand to see which taste it has, the professor got nervous and said to me:
Why did you move it? It was in the perfect place on the desk, so it won't fall, won't be in touch with other objects and I can have an eye on it all the time. So again, why did you move it?
While i'm looking at the instant ramen box, this reply takes me by surprise, but it can't be anything serious, but by the time i move my attetion from the box to the face of professor Grant i can tell, by the swolle vein on his face, that the mood changed drastically. So i hurry up to reply:

You know that sometimes can be useful to talk to someone, or do you know about other alternatives?

The professor says to me:
“If you want, there is the free counselling center in the city. It is possible to go without an appointment, where you can discuss in a group about different things and problematics. Or you can also take and appointment through the number available 24 hours a day, if you prefer to be alone. For example, I know that on Tuesdays and Fridays there are meetings with different professionals during all afternoon.”
[[I've never heard of it, but it would be interesting to talk to someone. After school if I have time, I might check it out|vado][$Points to $Points + 100]]

And even this school day is over… It could have been worse. By now I had forgotten what it was like to talk to someone, I have enjoyed it. I think it can be a good idea to check out the counselling center. I saw that today there is a group meeting, maybe for start can be a good idea.
I take my phone, open Google Maps and checks how far is the place. It is only 30 minutes walking and 10 min by bus. I will go walking, so I can avoid taking the crowded bus.
[[Go to counseling center|sala d'attesa]]<<audio ":playing" stop>>
[img[story/waiting room.png]]
It was a nice walk. I have arrived in the counselling center. I see there is a lady at the front desk. She doesn't even ask me anything, just says to me: "Welcome, the next meeting starts in 5 minutes, you can have a sit in the waiting room. Just walk down the hall, there are many chairs. While waiting, you should fill out a privacy form that you can find on the little table in the corner of the waiting room. Then you can leave it in the box next to it." I was surprised, she didn't even ask my name or anything else, and that made me feel good.
[[Privacy Form]]
I enter the waiting room and sit, i'm the only one here, but in few minutes another guy comes in. I welcome him, but he barely reply with an "Hi". He seems frustrated to be here.
He than moves next to the mirror and start staring outside...or maybe is he looking at his image mirrored on the window?
[[Continue|scena1]]In few minutes another person comes in, but I'm so surprised to see him here. It's the professor Grant. Due to my surprise, the only thing i'm able to say it's "hi". He replies me with a smile and moves towards the table at the center of the room. The only reason i can think of why he is here is because this place is someway part of the school program.
But as soon I finish this thought I see him looking the magazine on the table and with a angry expression on his face, he starts to reorganize the magazine by the data of publication and put them in a perfect line on the table. Something is not convincing him and he does that again at least a couple of time.
It's at that moment that I start tjinking that maybe he is here for the same reason as me: maybe he needs help, for a different reason, but still he needs help.
This thought in a way makes me feel relieved. I don't know exactly why: maybe the feeling that even adults can need help? maybe the idea that other people needs help? I don't know, but this sense of sharing helps me.
I barely noticed that even the guy at the window is staring Professor Gray with a weird look on his face, that the professor start talking:
[[Continue|fine]]Hi everone,
you all know me as Professor Gray, but I'm as well Psychologist Gray. I'm so happy to see that you both came here. I know the first steps are not the easiest one, but believe me you already took one really important when you decide to walk pass that door.
Mental health is a really important matter, and as maybe both of you noticed, this links to me both on personal and professional way.
I will wait you in to my office so we can have nice talk.
[[Continue|Questions]]Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.
By playing this game, we hope to promote the idea that seeking support, whether it be from counselling centers, therapists, or other forms of psychological support, is crucial for maintaining good mental health. We believe that raising awareness about mental health and the importance of seeking help can lead to a better understanding of mental health issues and ultimately, help those who are struggling to feel more comfortable in seeking the support they need.

The alarm will start ringing soon, Victor is already awake, but still laying in bed.
Lately his sleep schedule is getting irregular, and the idea of today's exam doesn't help since the goal of having the highest grade is clearly the one thing on his mind.
Victor starts calling his mom, to see if she is already up. No answer.
<i>Ah, yes, I forgot that also today she is out of town for work. It seems that I am alone again the next days. It's not important, I am used to it and I don't have time to think about that any more, I have the exam and that is the only thing important at this moment. I guess I could take it easy and go to school later, on the second lesson, so I can use this extra hour to study more. But I am sure that I'll ace the exam either way. </i>

know how to do their job properly." Says Victor speaking with a smile on his face with another lady waiting for the bus as well.

"ugh, no one here knows what a shower is apparently" He thinks to myself.
As soon he notices an empty seat Victor takes it quickly. The lady of before has 2 big bags and eagerly starts staring Victor.
"maybe she wants my seat" Thinks to imself "but I'm not so sure about that maybe she just likes my face."

The lesson starts and Victor follows it with attention, despite feeling so bored.
"The teacher likes to explain concepts like I'm 8 years old, I'd like something more suited for my level."
Bored, he glances at Patty's eyes, what he defines 'He's pretty classmate'
"Let's see if she looks me back...oh yes here she is, all blush and smiles. That's the effect I do to girls, I guess"
When he shifts his attention back to the teacher, He notices he has lost a part of the explanation.
[[I raise my hand and ask her to repeat|Raise Hand][$Points to $Points - 50]]
[[I resume listening from this point|Resume][$Points to $Points + 50]]The teacher scolds Victor for being distracted but reluctantly agrees to explain again.
"C'mon, i'm the best in the class if once I ask to repeat just do it without complain"
After what seemed like an eternity, the bell finally rings. The teacher stands up and exits the classroom.
Everyone starts chatting with one another, Victor stands up trying to approach my cute classmate but, as I do, the next teacher enters the room, with the exam papers in her hands.

After the test ended, I approach some other classmates to ask about how they did, not that I really care but just to have a small conversation.
Classmate: Hey Victor, how did your exam go?
Victor: Pretty good, I didn't even study that much. Tell me what was your answer to question n. 4?
Classmate: Oh, I answered with <<=$classmateanswer1>>. Letter <<=$classmateanswer2>> was a tricky answer, but only an idiot would've chosen <<=$test4>>.
Victor: (talking to himself) What is this guy talking about? The right answer was clearly <<=$test4>>. I'm obviously right here.
A feeling of uncertainty starts rising in Victor... Could I be wrong? No. I'm sure that's not it... The uncertainty fades and a raging anger starts to emerge.
Victor: Well, I'm sure someone with your grades wouldn't even be able to tell the difference between an idiot and a genius.
The classmate's face starts turning bright red. What did you just say?
Before I could say or do anything, he pushes me into the cute classmate from before.
I look at him in disbelief.
[[Push him back.|Shove][$Points to $Points + 50]]
[[Smile and walk away|Smile][$Points to $Points - 50]]
[[Punch him.|Punch][$Points to $Points + 150]]
[[Apologize for the rude comment.|Apology][$Points to $Points - 150]]
I quickly regain my balance and return the favor pushing the idiot back, but he doesn't back off. He starts running back towards me, swinging his arms around...
The teacher quickly gets between us, putting an end to the scene, he then turns towards me saying: "This is not the first time you make a scene like this. Come with me, I want to have a word with you".
[[Go with the professor|Professor time]]I give him a sarcastic smile and decide putting my hands on him wouldn't be worth the effort, as soon as I turn my back from him, he runs at me trying to hit me from behind. The teacher quickly gets between us, putting an end to the scene, he then turns towards me saying: "This is not the first time you are in the middle of this kind of scene. Come with me, I want to have a word with you."
[[Go with the professor|Professor time]]<<if $Points > 3900 >>
<<goto "dead Victor">>
<</if>>
This idiot really had the stupidest idea he could have, such behaviours cannot go unpunished. I think my fist will fit perfectly on his cheek. I swing at him, but he nimbly evades my punch. Likewise, I prepare to swing again, but the teacher quickly gets between us, putting an end to the scene. He then turns towards me, saying: "This is not the first time you make a scene like this. Come with me, I want to have a word with you."
[[Go with the professor|Professor time]]I don't really want to apologize, but this is not the first time I cause trouble at school. I really don't want this to create problems for me. "Sorry, I'm just a bit stressed from all the studying I guess", I say with the best acting performance I've done in years. The guy doesn't seem satisfied with my answer, but he just turns and walks away without saying a word. As soon as he's far enough, I mumble "idiot" between my teeth. The professor seems
to notice...he then turns towards me, saying: "This is not the first time you make a scene like this. Come with me, I want to have a word with you."
[[Go with the professor|Professor time]]
The professor gives the test back to Victor with the correction and starts to talk to him. He tells him that he needs to take it easy, it is the last school year. He needs to find his balance and finish the year with good behaviour.
Victor replies to the professor: I understand, I will do my best. Smiles ironically and says: I need to hurry because I have football practice. Thanks prof! Buy!
[[Walk out of the office|Check Test]]
On the way out he take a look at the grade of the test, even though he doesn’t care too much:

<</if>>
While walking to football practice, he goes again to the folder of his favourite photos, that he organised yesterday and publishes the best photo on his instagram adding #beautifulday #stylish #outfit #beautiful
Then he also and makes a story, while walking, typing: "Let's show them how to play football"
[[Let's practice.|Football practice]]Victors arrives at the practice, he prepares fast and reaches to the team.
The practice starts
At some point, it's Victor's turn to kick the ball. Should he aim right, left, or center? The classmate who is the goalkeeper looks like he will go to the left side, Victor is sure...
[[Kick to the left, the goalkeeper's right, he will definitely not catch it!|Leftkick][$Points to $Points - 100]]
[[Kick to the center, this is a bluff, but it's a gamble.|Centerkick][$Points to $Points - 50]]
[[Kick to the right, the goalkeeper's left? You're sure he will catch it, why kick there?|Rightkick][$Points to $Points + 50]]The goalkeeper was obviously bluffing! Victor fell right into that trap, as he kicked to his left, but the goalkeeper went to the same side and caught the ball with ease. Victor was so angry, he just left the line to quit the practice as he was sure the others were judging him.
After a while, he calmed down. "I will show them!"
[[Resume Practicing]]
That was a stupid decision! Victor kicked the ball straight into the goalkeeper's hands. But it was a gamble anyway, and sometimes they don't pay off. Victor was really annoyed and sat down on the grass, ignoring the others practicing.
After a while, he calmed down. "I will show them!"
[[Resume Practicing]]<<if $Points > 3900 >>
<<goto "dead Victor">>
<</if>>
Yes! Somehow, Victor knew that the goalkeeper was bluffing, so when he kicked to the right, the goalkeeper went to the right as well instead of left and missed the ball entirely. Score one for Victor!
Emboldened by his success, Victor thinks that he should show them something cool.
[[Resume Practicing]] During the practice, Victor was feeling particularly confident and decided to show off his skills by attempting a difficult move that he had seen some of the professional players do. Unfortunately, he didn't quite pull it off and ended up tripping over his own feet and falling flat on his face. Most on the team burst out laughing.
[[Victor gets furious and also ashamed. He starts screaming out his anger and runs directly to the changing room. The coach comes right behind him, trying to resolve the situation.|Changing Room A][$Points to $Points - 100]]
[[Victor is runs directly to one of his teammate, screaming in his face, pushing him. That teammate was not even one of those laughing. He was saying to Victor, stop, it is ok, nothing happened. The coach run to him. Put himself in between. Said to Victor you need to come with me. This cannot be tolerated.|Changing Room B][$Points to $Points + 100]]
Coach: "You cannot do this to your self. Nothing major happened. There are ups and downs all the time, and not every time everything can go as we planned. You need to find a way to settle your anger. And this is not the first time you act like this. I cannot tolerate this in my team. Does it worth to risk it all? You have such a talent, don't let this behaviour take away your chances and future career. There are many ways to work and resolve this. I can give you some contacts of some really good counselling centers that are also near, you can check, and some of them are also free."
Without saying anything, Victor goes to change and walks home. While walking, he is thinking: "is it worth it? Will it work? I cannot lose my football career. Plus they will be loosing more, they cannot replace me, I am the best!"
[[Let's go home.|Home]]Coach: "You cannot do this at my practice any more. This is not the first time. Or you start with some counselling or you will not continue playing on my team. Think about it. Does it worth to risk it all? You have such a talent, don't let this behaviour take away your chances and future career. I can give you some contacts of some really good counselling centers that are also near, you can check, and some of them are also free."
Without saying anything, Victor goes to change and walks home. While walking, he is thinking: "is it worth it? Will it work? I cannot lose my football career. Plus they will be loosing more, they cannot replace me, I am the best!"
[[Let's go home.|Home]]
After few days, Victor decided to check the counselling center that is nearest to him. He arrives at the center.
Victor: I see there is a lady at the front desk. She doesn't even ask me anything, just says to me: "Welcome, the next meeting with the Psychologist Grant starts in 5 minutes, you can have a sit in the waiting room. Just walk down the hall, there are many chairs. While waiting, you should fill out a privacy form that you can find on the little table in the corner of the waiting room. Then you can leave it in the box next to it." I was surprised, she didn't even ask my name or anything else. Like to comment on my beautiful outfit that it took me an hour to choose it, or my amazing smile, nothing, she didn't say anything."

I wash my hands very well before and after peeing. And I also wash my face before going to prepare breakfast.
While washing the hands, I'm already thinking: first I turn on the coffee machine, then I take two slices of bread, insert them in the toaster, take out the jam and milk out of the fridge. Take a plate, put the toasted bread on the plate, spread with jam, put back the jam in the fridge. Wash my hands. Pour the coffee in my cup, take the milk and pour 3 drops of milk in the coffee. Put back the milk in the fridge and wash my hands. Perfect! Everything should go as planned.

I check the time. Good thing we got all the green lights. The bus arrives at my stop. I get down and walk to the school entrance.
I enter the school, check the time. Right on time! I have 30 minutes to make order in my classroom and on my desk. Today i have the after-school activities class. It's the class for the students that are failing and need more time to improve their situation.
I take out the papers from my bag and place them in the right corner of the desk. Since today I won't have enough time to go out for lunch, I brought instant ramen noodles that will be easy and not messy to prepare. I place the box of instant noodles in the perfect place on the desk, so it won't fall, won't be in touch with other objects and I can have an eye on it all the time.

<</dragdrop>>That is perfect! Now we are ready to start since everything is in the perfect order.
The first students start arriving and entering the classroom. One of them, looks at my lunch with a lot of interest. The student suddenly gets up and approaches me.
He asks me: "How come you like this junk food?"
[[I reply immediately...|Classroom T2]]
“It may not be the healthiest food in the world, but I can't do without it. After all, we all have strengths and weaknesses. Do you like Instant Ramen too?”
He replies: “Instant Ramen is my favorite food. To be clear, only homemade fresh pasta is better than Instant Ramen, but you know…I can't even remember the last time I ate fresh pasta."
I say: “Well, if you think about it, Instant Ramen are fresh pasta that you can always have with you”.
[[While we are talking, the student takes the Instant Ramen in his hand to see which flavour it has...|Classroom T3]]I got nervous, that he touched and moved the box with instant ramen, so I said to him: “Why did you move it? It was in the perfect place on the desk, so it won't fall, won't be in touch with other objects, and I can have an eye on it all the time."
I realized that I have overreacted, so to change the topic, and just asked him why is he here today.
He says: “I really don't want to disturb you, but today was a day to forget. Sometimes I have the feeling that I don't exist or that I don't know why I continue to live".
So I replied: “Sometimes overcoming things alone can be really difficult. Talking to someone can be useful and helpful to go through different phases or difficulties.
If you want, there is the free counselling center in the city. It is possible to go without an appointment, where you can discuss in a group about different things and problematics. Or you can also take and appointment through the number available 24 hours a day, if you prefer to be alone. For example, I know that on Tuesdays and Fridays there are meetings with different professionals during all afternoon.”
[[More people are coming in.|Classroom T4]]I stop talking because the rest of the students arrive, the class starts and goes smoothly.
The class is over and the students leave the classroom. I check the time and realise that I have the group counselling meeting in two hours. I have to rush, organise everything, eat my Instant Ramen noodles and arrive at the center.

There are already 2 boys in the waiting room. I recognize one of them as the boy i was speaking about instant ramen, Pablo. I am really glad and proud that he came but how come he came earlier than me? Maybe the time i took for planning wasn't really necessary.
[img[story/waiting room.png]]
While I'm thinking i notice that In the waiting room, at the coffee table, there are some magazines, I organise them because someone left them all over the table.
I enter my office without saying nothing, on the table there is a list with the names of today's group. I can't even look at it...
[[I need to rewrite them in alphabetical order.|Theo last]]
This time they have to be organized by surname...
<<set _lines3 to [
'Alessia Balboni',
'Victor Boldini',
'Sofia Ferganini',
'Pablo Garcia',
'Filip Russo',
'Anna Vilaplana',
'Marco Zarri',
]>>
<<dragdrop _lines3>>
There, now they are really organized properly...
[[I look at the watch, it is time to start this session! I ask the participants to enter.|Theo End]]
<</dragdrop>>I open the door, take a look on the waiting room and see there are 2 students. I'm really proud of them, but it's time to start so I say:
[[Introduce yourself|fine]]
<<= sendData() >>Victor gets in the waiting room,but there is only one young guy there
[img[story/waiting room.png]]
"Mmmh judging by the line, this psycholgist must not be the best" he thinks
"Hello! How you doing?" says the guy who was already in the room. He tries to be cheerfull but in the end he only looks so pitifull. I just say Hi back to him in order to close the conversation as soon as possible.
After another 10 minutes waiting another person comes in. Victor is pretty sure he saw him sometimes walking around school, probably a professor. He notices that even the other guy looks at him as he knows him quite good.
This thoughts get interrupted by the scene going on in front of them: the professor starts to organize an line up all the magazines on the top of the small table at the center in the room. The fact that he didn't even say hello and the way he's so focus on re-organizing the magazines makes Victor think something is not right. "This guy surely needs an help from this psychologist".
After all this work, the guy says hello and goes directly inside the office of the Psychologist Grant.
After few minutes he opens the door and start saying:
[[Continue|fine]]Thanks for playing the game. Before giving you some important information we prepared some questions that can be useful to reflect about what ddid you just experienced. But before going to those, we suggest you to play all the 3 characters.

Otherwise here are the questions:

With this believe in mind Victor is a person with which is impossible to have even a simple conversation.
He's up above everyonelse.
There is no chance to have a proper day in this state. He's better to go home and start again tomorrow
-Mental Status too High-
[[Start again|Challenge bed Victor]]My head is too messy today. Nothing goes to his place, nothing is in the proper order.
It's way too much for me.
I think I need to stop for today, reset my mind, and start again tomorrow.
[[Start again|Theodor bed]]I'm getting stucked again and again in my thoughts.
I align, rearrange and plan but without being able to conclude anything.
I really need to stop for today, reset my mind, and face tomorrow with new energies
