Using 'playground bullies' metaphor then it will be something like this:
Both Sam and Dimitry is basically a bully.
Sam created a group with Jacques, Adolf, Arthur with main purposes to alienate Dimitry and his friends; Jan, Radu, Matis and Bogdan.
There's a conflict within Dimitry group of friends.
One by one, Jan, Radu, Matis left Dimitry and no longer willing to play with him.
Dimitry grew bitter and he start to issue threat to those who refused to play with him.
Jan, Radu, Matis grew wary of Dimitry's threat.
To protect themselves from Dimitry they seek protection from a bigger bully, Sam who has agree to protect them from Dimitry.
Dimitry can't do anything as he's afraid of Sam.
Bogdan then heard of about Dimitry's threat to Jan, Radu and Matis.
And starting to grew wary as well.
Following the footsteps of Jan, Radu and Matis;
Bogdan then try to approach Sam, seeking his protection from angry and bitter Dimitry.
But alas Sam refused Bogdan's request.
And more alas, Dimitry heard about it.
Dimitry is afraid of Sam as he's a bigger bully, but he's keen to deliver a bitter punishment to Bogdan.
Before Sam change his mind.
