Spock cha Sarek struggled to resist the urge to cry. Why was he being punished? It wasn’t his fault! He didn’t start the fight. It wasn’t his fault all the other children hated him! Adults might say hate was illogical and that it did not exist in Vulcan society but Spock knew otherwise. They all hated him, all adults but ko-mekh and sa-mekh. He sensed it in almost every single adult he had come into contact with. And now in every child.
