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.”
471Please respect copyright.PENANAvPgAoGdQfB
471Please respect copyright.PENANAyYbTo7mdbT
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.
471Please respect copyright.PENANAxxxV0U8ZWI
471Please respect copyright.PENANA71uxUQa7mg
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.
471Please respect copyright.PENANAwdBGegO8Z4
471Please respect copyright.PENANA41RPXn3ZMa
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.
471Please respect copyright.PENANAgC55GOgNfg
471Please respect copyright.PENANAq5mA4UPVgf
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.”

Alyson: “Like what? Not much to talk about.”
471Please respect copyright.PENANAFCS7MlmN6K
471Please respect copyright.PENANAxUh9xZD7cN
Nell: “Anything interesting happening at school?”
471Please respect copyright.PENANAQMjgNfjfGU
471Please respect copyright.PENANA5u16GfJ5aK
I flinch from the onslaught of memories while Alyson looks at me.
471Please respect copyright.PENANAc57KWifYxT
471Please respect copyright.PENANAab7zv2i1Da
Alyson: “…Not really. I’m still at the top of the school and Nao is still Nao. Nothing changed.”

471Please respect copyright.PENANA6eQsWGeBzM
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?”

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.

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.
471Please respect copyright.PENANAVEICRRcR10
471Please respect copyright.PENANAdCa2QKQJNS
Nell: “What?”
471Please respect copyright.PENANAVXq2dBGhhM
471Please respect copyright.PENANAqBoYO37zO0
Nao: “Nothing I…just wonder about this school assignment. Can you help me out?”
471Please respect copyright.PENANAjHtTDlpi6O

Nell: “Of course.”
471Please respect copyright.PENANAAC2DFsuLZd

Nao: “It’s a moral question, is there a good reason to kill someone?”
471Please respect copyright.PENANAMgdSCHdzuv
471Please respect copyright.PENANAii5LgGQXoo
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.”
471Please respect copyright.PENANA4U8QnZo4HV
471Please respect copyright.PENANAzgYFcmFSgD
Nao: “Really?”
471Please respect copyright.PENANA1TROHzPMXf
471Please respect copyright.PENANAkLtLT6Nkz0
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.”
471Please respect copyright.PENANAEgH6aHfaLy

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.
