Mom looks up at me with a mix of fear, disappointment, and…concern. Whether that concern is for her safety or for me, it doesn’t matter. I turn away from her, I can’t look at her after everything I’ve done.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kpZjYRr8x

We went about our tasks without saying much. The atmosphere was serious and thick with tension. Only Alyson wasn’t affected. She’s really put in the effort to make this a family dinner.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BzhmFkSZp
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk9qE9mOK4
I can’t dwell on it too much. I want to put my best foot forward too, regardless of the outcome. Eventually, we finished our tasks. Mom’s on one side while me and Alyson sit across from her. 290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkSa9liUpB

For the next 10 minutes, the light of our flight slowly returned to normal. No, back to where Alyson and I were friends. When we were kids and didn’t have so many problems. The desire for success and the burden of weakness.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0G0tSaYr8
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VSCNDhOTM
But that weakness, I’ve outgrown it thanks to Arc. If Alyson can be less worried about her image then maybe everything will be okay.

So we talked and we laughed. Those 10 minutes nearly brought me to tears. I didn’t want it to end. But as the time for the meteor shower approaches, the tension returned. It’s time for everything to be revealed for the 3rd time.
