She went up to him, and she said, stop bullying that kid, even though she was really scared herself and was afraid of what the bully would do to her. And the bully said, what's it to you? And she said, it's not right. And so the bully hauled off and hit her. And then he comes back. He said, but my mother, you know, she didn't even realize her nose was broken.

What is she thinking? What is she saying?
