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.

461Please respect copyright.PENANAZVuIzFldht
461Please respect copyright.PENANA1E2g4LM8yW
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.
461Please respect copyright.PENANA0cmLCYqaoV
461Please respect copyright.PENANArHBazA7gPS
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.
461Please respect copyright.PENANAv1GeLE1YFV

She must have stayed up all night studying? Why? She’s perfect as is.

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.
461Please respect copyright.PENANARBgdN91Q0l
461Please respect copyright.PENANAOOor1ACsQP
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.”
461Please respect copyright.PENANAgxvMOz3mYc
461Please respect copyright.PENANAykjs22DbO1
Nell: “Anything interesting happening at school?”
461Please respect copyright.PENANAJZwWIOrWP8
461Please respect copyright.PENANACxmuw6IxFI
I flinch from the onslaught of memories while Alyson looks at me.
461Please respect copyright.PENANAUmrwUO7kEj
461Please respect copyright.PENANAhFwiLssNdz
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.”

Nell: “What? Why?”
461Please respect copyright.PENANAjaImE1pA7C

Alyson: “I’m sorry, I need to buy some important materials for class.”

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

461Please respect copyright.PENANApQCLyNTS62

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.”
461Please respect copyright.PENANAi2fBo47KM7

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.
461Please respect copyright.PENANAcKHoETl1Qc
461Please respect copyright.PENANAPj6KI7lpgH
Nell: “What?”
461Please respect copyright.PENANAov2xGayYSJ
461Please respect copyright.PENANAwAf9j60aeX
Nao: “Nothing I…just wonder about this school assignment. Can you help me out?”
461Please respect copyright.PENANAFVhYeyeQw9

Nell: “Of course.”

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.”
461Please respect copyright.PENANA19jTPu6brH

Nao: “Really?”
461Please respect copyright.PENANAdtWxA1gjhO
461Please respect copyright.PENANAfcgAoRMNjt
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.”

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.
