This scenario focuses on Support after the scene — a critical skill inside the broader conflict resolution domain. You'll face a decision where the instinctive response is often the wrong one. After you make your choice, you'll see exactly what happened in the other person's head and why it mattered. The scenario is part of The Bystander, a full interactive story inside the Dealing with Bullying quest.

You see it happening — the target, the crowd, the laugh that isn't funny. Your hands are in your pockets, your feet are pointed toward the exit, and the question burns: do you walk by or walk in?
What started with the bystander just got more complicated. Now you need to intervene as a bystander using safe, effective approaches that shift group dynamics — and the situation is shifting faster than your first approach can handle.
This is the moment you've been building toward. Reporting bullying to an adult or authority without feeling like a snitch — except now the stakes are real and there's no rehearsal. What you do next matters.
