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.

372Please respect copyright.PENANAkFLqTzYmeV
372Please respect copyright.PENANAW1bzgRcofZ
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.
372Please respect copyright.PENANAFp8YNqjo6o
372Please respect copyright.PENANAm05tAjRVK7
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.
372Please respect copyright.PENANAygpoUcmPsS
372Please respect copyright.PENANANQPBPRzyWV
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.

372Please respect copyright.PENANAJ81G02vrqu
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.”
372Please respect copyright.PENANA3bJaXZfvqP
372Please respect copyright.PENANAl2CxBnFjXE
Nell: “Anything interesting happening at school?”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAHOLjlGhRml
372Please respect copyright.PENANAEzwtZSsT1P
I flinch from the onslaught of memories while Alyson looks at me.
372Please respect copyright.PENANANO3TI59Opc
372Please respect copyright.PENANAnQQryAdGOE
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.”

372Please respect copyright.PENANAofCgX8oaUA
Nell: “What? Why?”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAJSUyFMT3h4
372Please respect copyright.PENANAi5iloxe8N5
Alyson: “I’m sorry, I need to buy some important materials for class.”

Nell: “But-”

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

Nao: “Really? Why?”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAFjoMLT01bH
372Please respect copyright.PENANAzxwgOlzDPK
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.”
372Please respect copyright.PENANA5BMF0AhkLc
372Please respect copyright.PENANAok8QK7zCE3

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.
372Please respect copyright.PENANAQOvtUS84JS
372Please respect copyright.PENANAKMJvEs0DWh
Nell: “What?”
372Please respect copyright.PENANACAm9UeLs74
372Please respect copyright.PENANAWgRjDeJCAK
Nao: “Nothing I…just wonder about this school assignment. Can you help me out?”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAg11YT4lO1y

Nell: “Of course.”

Nao: “It’s a moral question, is there a good reason to kill someone?”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAmajmncqaT4
372Please respect copyright.PENANAz7nYqn8Vps
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.”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAZfmRTmeOOk

Nao: “Really?”
372Please respect copyright.PENANA6GmEH4O64G
372Please respect copyright.PENANAyYndRUWLtl
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.”

Nao: “I see…thanks for the advice. I think I’m tired from the hard day.”

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.
