"I don't know. I didn't see them after the calamity started... I ran for my life, without looking back once."
The guy paused before he gave off a bitter smile, "They laughed at me. My face… people said I looked more like a girl than a man. Some even said I should've been a pretty hostess instead of a nurse. I didn't mind at first. But then the bullying… grew worse."
He took a shaky breath, his soft voice breaking slightly. "I thought… maybe if I just kept working hard, they would stop. But even the patients sometimes stared at me strangely. No matter how much effort I gave, I… I was never respected. Still, I told myself that if I can save lives, then my dignity doesn't matter."
"For once, I wanted to be cruel, I... wanted to live. So I left."
