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.

392Please respect copyright.PENANAeGJoDKk95B
392Please respect copyright.PENANAPtpT0qKc0u
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.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAQdlH6YImIh
392Please respect copyright.PENANALSCjO3pcA2
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.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAqroPZA9hUW
392Please respect copyright.PENANAnmUo2zYKHO
She must have stayed up all night studying? Why? She’s perfect as is.

Alyson: “Mmmmm.”
392Please respect copyright.PENANAYHELB0wyCA

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.

392Please respect copyright.PENANAoNnDOKM7AQ
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.”
392Please respect copyright.PENANA4vZVtiuq26

Nell: “Anything interesting happening at school?”
392Please respect copyright.PENANA9avzmG0z8p
392Please respect copyright.PENANAoUjI8QDVof
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 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.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAYMEXF6cYsE
392Please respect copyright.PENANACYqo6ECPHv
Nell: “What?”
392Please respect copyright.PENANAt6DOy7sOXI

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.”
392Please respect copyright.PENANAfkutXpJcw4
392Please respect copyright.PENANAr0emgsyjRG
Nao: “Really?”
392Please respect copyright.PENANAVlt5caDAof
392Please respect copyright.PENANAyIQ46WaFwJ
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.
