Picked on: freeze-outs, robberies and standing up, sentence 3

Every morning his tummy went tight; for a month he faked being ill on Mondays; in the end he told Mum, she spoke to the school, the boys were stopped, and even then he kept his head down in that corridor for a while, because fear takes longer to leave than the bullies do.

Who acts: tummy, she, fear · What happens: go, fake, be, tell, speak, stop · To what, where: Mum, end, boys, head, corridor · Speech: someone speaks here

The tree: Mova annot: Rust (en) → Haiku 5.5 (medium, Batches API) patches; gates UD 2.18; agreed by treeagree rules (Stanza, Trankit, spaCy trf): R5-strong ×3, R6-punct-agree ×1, R7-rel-agree ×1, R8-pos-agree ×1. The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
