While he has good grades at school, his family situation attracts jokes, stares, and feelings of pity from his peers.
Often, he gets bullied. Feeling that he is neither accepted nor loved, he often visits his imaginary world--planet Rubicon--a place where things are as he would like them to be. In this world people focus on their passions, never get bullied or laughed upon, and everyone's opinion is valued.
