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.

Nao: “Fine, I’m coming in! I don’t want to be here longer than I have to.”
345Please respect copyright.PENANA3CDti8nANR
345Please respect copyright.PENANAczYNmamnpF
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.
345Please respect copyright.PENANA90MJUsLJvO
345Please respect copyright.PENANADOXsBRTFTp
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.
345Please respect copyright.PENANAxFR3jHul8w
345Please respect copyright.PENANABJn6kUfu6z
She must have stayed up all night studying? Why? She’s perfect as is.

Alyson: “Mmmmm.”
345Please respect copyright.PENANAYfjImj7Yyk

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.
345Please respect copyright.PENANAJVYV437vY2
345Please respect copyright.PENANAY7rSrPSh8p
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.

Nell: “Let’s not waste this occasion, let’s take about something fun.”
345Please respect copyright.PENANAY1tx3GShqd
345Please respect copyright.PENANAqxV4vm9uwH
Alyson: “Like what? Not much to talk about.”
345Please respect copyright.PENANAS7GSJmHqtZ
345Please respect copyright.PENANALqNEi4Cgss
Nell: “Anything interesting happening at school?”
345Please respect copyright.PENANAmaoPwJgywt
345Please respect copyright.PENANAY17TpY09RM
I flinch from the onslaught of memories while Alyson looks at me.
345Please respect copyright.PENANAmCPxXGLCPh
345Please respect copyright.PENANAQDk3ZJQBII
Alyson: “…Not really. I’m still at the top of the school and Nao is still Nao. Nothing changed.”

Nell: “I’m glad you’re doing well at school, you always impress me.”

Alyson: “T-Thanks Nell, I try. Speaking of I need to cut this meal short.”
345Please respect copyright.PENANAzrPnP1PtQP
345Please respect copyright.PENANArpRWLVZJXg
Nell: “What? Why?”
345Please respect copyright.PENANA3ON3tCSGSF
345Please respect copyright.PENANAYonUqDl134
Alyson: “I’m sorry, I need to buy some important materials for class.”

345Please respect copyright.PENANAfVGKz1fpRZ
Nell: “But-”

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

Nao: “Really? Why?”
345Please respect copyright.PENANAaFz5RhEwLh
345Please respect copyright.PENANAV47gIZNVyI
Nell: “I know you don’t strive to improve like Alyson but I know being super successful is not necessary to be happy. I had faith you would find your own path.”
345Please respect copyright.PENANAFtfSP8Ti0c
345Please respect copyright.PENANATPAXjERxqp
Nao: “I-I happy to hear you think so highly of me. But…”

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.
345Please respect copyright.PENANAQnNwk14qX8
345Please respect copyright.PENANAk8tqDZ1rPE
Nell: “What?”
345Please respect copyright.PENANA9tp1v2DVtg
345Please respect copyright.PENANAAek4OkqvmB
Nao: “Nothing I…just wonder about this school assignment. Can you help me out?”
345Please respect copyright.PENANA2F5tM9t1z6

Nell: “Of course.”

Nao: “It’s a moral question, is there a good reason to kill someone?”
345Please respect copyright.PENANATapA6f7tuN
345Please respect copyright.PENANAZowWHFw94t
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.”
345Please respect copyright.PENANAMePitwKEy5
345Please respect copyright.PENANACi8PVpFHrO
Nao: “Really?”
345Please respect copyright.PENANA5shYun4SVj
345Please respect copyright.PENANAS87SdubBFg
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.”
345Please respect copyright.PENANAk8yXjvdM3D
345Please respect copyright.PENANA9lshyJdqbQ
Nao: “I see…thanks for the advice. I think I’m tired from the hard day.”
345Please respect copyright.PENANA73z0KuwePD

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.
