The Julian Chapter is Julian's perspective on the events that unfolded, and I was worried that his story would be too human and justify his actions thankfully, R.J. Different perspectives are revealed throughout Wonder from Auggie's to his sister to his supposed best friend. The main antagonist (bully) of that story is Julian.
