Abel tells Noah to take him to the boys who bullied him. Once they find them, Abel catches one of the children and whips him with a tree branch. Watching the violence, Noah experiences first pleasure and then horror. The boy's father later comes to the house to confront Abel but ends up also being frightened of him. I think Noah is a kind person and does not wish to witness suffering, especially suffering caused by him.
