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.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAJeFPl9p6nb
353Please respect copyright.PENANAOLPRpaoc5U
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAj0fv9dbYM5
353Please respect copyright.PENANAuQbgs2MU49
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAlmkbm82AxF
353Please respect copyright.PENANAmYm8Ea5szk
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAe4JD93NuMK
353Please respect copyright.PENANAAp9sMCOMDg
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.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6DGtD1NJd

Nell: “Anything interesting happening at school?”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAq44ImaFh0A
353Please respect copyright.PENANA2abTbznJ4X
I flinch from the onslaught of memories while Alyson looks at me.
353Please respect copyright.PENANA8Mi53Ius8M
353Please respect copyright.PENANAw4qZQ9MhH2
Alyson: “…Not really. I’m still at the top of the school and Nao is still Nao. Nothing changed.”

353Please respect copyright.PENANAdtKMSjmE8G
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.”

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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANANyhFS7a3Gx
353Please respect copyright.PENANArNPFpLbPAu
Nell: “What?”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAipeBe23aRL
353Please respect copyright.PENANAcMfWIemsl0

Nao: “It’s a moral question, is there a good reason to kill someone?”

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.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAo16lbUfcOB
353Please respect copyright.PENANA7rLemkCcCn
Nao: “Really?”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAewwIdrKnOK
353Please respect copyright.PENANAVoWxyeZoUH
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.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAXNa0GJCQRZ

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.
