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.

368Please respect copyright.PENANAgdOoHTMkZg
368Please respect copyright.PENANADKyRJVN30X
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.
368Please respect copyright.PENANAugIMHUCGUd
368Please respect copyright.PENANAxsriEvTdxy
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.
368Please respect copyright.PENANAm1SQwHNegl

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

Alyson: “Mmmmm.”

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.
368Please respect copyright.PENANAzxFOCAbXmR
368Please respect copyright.PENANAOFhprlaQM5
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.”
368Please respect copyright.PENANAOgy3LAQHNO

Nell: “Anything interesting happening at school?”
368Please respect copyright.PENANAuBubULAsGA
368Please respect copyright.PENANACnszPptPFQ
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: “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?”
368Please respect copyright.PENANADNrBtEZmEo

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.
368Please respect copyright.PENANAbD5zJySKZa
368Please respect copyright.PENANAJDCvR3Vhdd
Nell: “What?”
368Please respect copyright.PENANAuVMBIdWm5h
368Please respect copyright.PENANAFsaBMbksDb
Nao: “Nothing I…just wonder about this school assignment. Can you help me out?”
368Please respect copyright.PENANAFel2HFYbNu

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.”
368Please respect copyright.PENANAUpu50fqdiz

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.
