Next day.
At school. The teacher and that little boy’s father were both sitting at the table in the office.
“My wife was busy at the shop so I came up instead.” His father said to the teacher.
“You know that Jack wants to be a doctor when he grows up? Right? The teacher asked.
He replied:
“Yes, that’s what he says.”
“The kids took an IQ test last month and scored over 160.”
“Oh, I see”
The teacher looks at his father as if she wants to ask something, but she is nervous.
She said:
“Oh.. Umm.. Actually.. But are there any problems at home?”
Father stopped smiling and asked:
“Pardon? Like what?”
She hesitantly opens the drawing book of him and places it in front of his father. He flips the page and sees the drawing of bodies covered in blood. They look like some kind of monster. His father was looking at the drawings shockingly.
The teacher said:
“Jack drew them. I asked to meet him because I needed him to need therapy right away.”
“Therapy?? Just because he drew some unique drawings? Are you treating our son like he’s mentally ill?” He shouts, then he stands up, takes the drawing notebook of Jack and walks away.
Jack’s father was walking fast while Jack was walking slowly on the back of him. Father stops walking, turns back, sits down on his knees, grabs his shoulder and asks him:
“Did you really kill that rabbit?”
He nods.
“Aishhh”
He slaps him hard in the middle of the street. He takes out his phone from his pocket and calls his wife right away. She picks up the phone.
He ordered:
“Hi, honey! Come home right now.”
“What? Why? What about the store? Have you gone to Jack’s school? Does something happen there? Is everything okay?”
“Do you know what your kid is? Oh gosh! I'm so humiliated.”
Jack was looking at his father intensely.
Next scene.
Jack was looking at his face in the mirror. There was a red mark that was made by his father’s slap. He stands up and sneaks out of his door.
“Let’s eat” Father said.
The father was feeding the fishes with love while their pet dog was sitting beside the chair. Father looked at his pet dog and said:
“Chocho! Hi there”
He was petting him with love. Jack was watching his father while his father was patting the dog. He started to scratch his arm brutally.
Next day.
Jack’s little brother and sister were sitting at the table. They were playing with the blocks. Jack came out of the room. There was a bottle in his hand and he started to pour the water inside the equilibrium. His little brother came towards him and asked:
“What is it in your hand? What are you pouring?”
“Ammonia, this will kill all the fishes” he replied.
His brother asked:
“They'll die?”
He grabs his arm right away and says:
“Don't do it, Don't do it”
“MOVE!” jack said.
Jack pushes him away. He falls to the floor. He started crying and said:
“Dad loves them a lot”
“Yeah, exactly that’s why I’m killing them” Jack said.
His brother was crying badly.
He said:
“Please don't do it. I feel bad for the fishes.”
Meanwhile, the dog comes towards jack and starts to bark. Jack grabs Chocho and throws the bottle away.
“Don’t tell dad I took chocho and don't you dare to tell them about the fishes either. Tattletales are the worst people in the whole wide world. You know that? Right?” Jack threatens his brother.
His brother nods while crying. He took a chocho and went out of the house. Father comes home right after Jack leaves.
Father was walking on the street which was next to the house. He sees a crowd of people standing in front of the lake.
“I wonder what is going on?” he said.
“Jay, Elif Daddy's home.” Father said.
Jay stands up right away. Father's eyes caught the equilibrium. He sees the dead fishes floating upside down.
“What’s happening here? What did you do? Tell me?” Father looks at Jay and asks him.
His father sits and holds Jay's hands and says:
“Jay, you are a good boy? Tell me, why are all the fishes dead?”
While Jay was looking downwards without saying anything.
Elif was their youngest sister. She was a special child. She starts by saying:
“What is that brother? Ammonia. This will kill all the fish. They'll die?”
Jay immediately covers Elif's mouth. She screamed.
His father started panicking. Suddenly, he looks at the bottle lying on the floor. He picks it up and smells it.
“That PUNK!”
His father threw the bottle away and started running. A crowd of people was standing in front of the lake. He pushes people and sees Chocho's dead body floating in the lake. He jumps in the lake and picks into Chocho's body in his hands. While Jack was standing behind the tree,

“You jerk! YOU EVIL JERK! GET UP! Get up you JERK!” His father was scolding and beating him badly.
His wife rushed and tried to stop him.
“Let go, let go of me.”
He pushes his wife away.
“Honey, Stop please.”
“Out of my way”
While Jay and Elif were hiding under the table.
