| “ | Shouldn't you be enjoying it like I am, George? No parents? No stupid cockless grown-ups to monitor us 24-7? We're free, George. We can do anything we want. We want to stab a kid? We stab them. We want to burn someone? We burn them. Imagine if the teachers were never separated from us. As usual, we would be forcefully obligated to act like nice, civilized people. How boring is that? The only time we can take out whoever we dislike will be when no one is watching. And those times are rare, George. Those times are rare. You say another word about anything even distantly - even slightly - related to grown-ups, and you'll severely wish you haven't. I'll end you. Don't think I can't. | „ |

Biography[]
30 Days in Spring[]
During Ryan’s childhood, he committed multiple cruel acts, such as hospitalizing his schoolmate by making him eat dirt, killing his teacher’s pet hamster, murdering a disable kid at a camp and framing the kid’s friend for it, throwing a dog under a train, and setting a cafeteria on fire.
After being stranded in the woods during a field trip with other kids at his school district, he joins up with three other boys called George, Gavin, and Aaron. The boys start their reign of terror by beating a group of freshmen to death with hammers. They then gang rape a girl before beating and strangling her to death. When the girl’s boyfriend finds her corpse, he vows to get revenge. The boys decide to hunt him down too. While searching for him, Ryan shoots a puppy and slowly kills a guy who resembles the boyfriend for acting confrontational. When the girl’s boyfriend finally gets his hands on Ryan, his gang mobs him, and Ryan stabs the guy to death while taunting him.
