I wake up and start to think that everything yesterday was a dream. But the slight headache and necklace assures me that things are going to get better.

I open the door with a quiet creak and witness this pristine room. I'm always blown away by how empty this place is. Aside from dolls, a bed, and work-related materials there’s nothing in here.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAmJAN6Mf0gk
413Please respect copyright.PENANAKfvVYdrheD
But I have to admit, I bet it’s easier to clean and keep this spotless. And there in the corner desk is Alyson setting her head down on some study papers.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAySMVT77ICJ

I go downstairs where mom and Alyson are waiting. I sit down and begin eating. It’s been so long since we ate together but I can’t fully get into it.

413Please respect copyright.PENANAqQUUcmTiT1
The food doesn’t taste as good as it should and I can’t look at mom. Mom…she looked so happy to be together for once. But now I can’t enjoy the smile that drew out mine.

Alyson: “Like what? Not much to talk about.”
413Please respect copyright.PENANA8JSnIkBUha

Nell: “Anything interesting happening at school?”

I flinch from the onslaught of memories while Alyson looks at me.

Alyson: “…Not really. I’m still at the top of the school and Nao is still Nao. Nothing changed.”

Nell: “What? Why?”

Alyson scarfed down her food and left us alone in the living room.

No, just like with the bullies I refuse to add stress to her. I’ll handle this alone. But maybe one small question won’t hurt.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAtiICMyHHsk
413Please respect copyright.PENANApfHNAhYKTB
Nell: “What?”
413Please respect copyright.PENANATwyxhkj3Jr
413Please respect copyright.PENANAzQhaUhTUSS

Nao: “It’s a moral question, is there a good reason to kill someone?”
413Please respect copyright.PENANA55WTeU5Ngd
413Please respect copyright.PENANAs7vSkwTMJj
Nell: “What are they teaching you kids these days? I personally think yes, but very rarely. It up to you to decide when such extreme force is necessary.”
413Please respect copyright.PENANA9deRZTfU9L
413Please respect copyright.PENANAsEdoQxJ0lc
Nao: “Really?”
413Please respect copyright.PENANAKPT6PaIdpd
413Please respect copyright.PENANABdg6ehwn9v
Nell: “It might sound like I’m not answering the questions but that’s how complex the world is. But I would prefer people didn’t have to kill other people. That’s the world I would like to see.”
413Please respect copyright.PENANA7dJBuuVD7D

That’s all I could take of her warmth. I left back to my room and flopped on the bed.

Nao: “They were trying to kill me. I defended myself, it’s okay. I did nothing wrong. There was no other way.”

Saying that to myself like a lullaby, I slowly drifted off to sleep.
