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.

365Please respect copyright.PENANAaAZ6Xptjcg
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAoMp33ENFl9
365Please respect copyright.PENANA2Qxn0z8NAC
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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANArrzB2xHTWn

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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAMhrtLXGqTo
365Please respect copyright.PENANApNOXFdjwXD
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.”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAiGW7Ll4DbF

Alyson: “Like what? Not much to talk about.”
365Please respect copyright.PENANACgWFPJ7tlC
365Please respect copyright.PENANAATdn4Zehpl
Nell: “Anything interesting happening at school?”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAdkJA32Ct2e
365Please respect copyright.PENANAqARgMLmlI7
I flinch from the onslaught of memories while Alyson looks at me.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAcdkNE17t1C
365Please respect copyright.PENANAdFG3pjhU0v
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.”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAVHDXiqt5IC
365Please respect copyright.PENANAnEUTER24cJ
Nell: “What? Why?”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAn65RQ4exnX
365Please respect copyright.PENANAd4U5yaq8Yc
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.

365Please respect copyright.PENANAlFhqf40rlA

Nao: “Really? Why?”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAYLoaCw4LsF

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.”
365Please respect copyright.PENANA4L1Q9kJjn7
365Please respect copyright.PENANAJoza7eAYtv

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.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAyuB1ja8q2j
365Please respect copyright.PENANAAvoyT0z0Ry
Nell: “What?”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAuRe1ZTWAac
365Please respect copyright.PENANAtX6UNyV1oA
Nao: “Nothing I…just wonder about this school assignment. Can you help me out?”
365Please respect copyright.PENANA3bhGG3BcRM

Nell: “Of course.”

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.”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAxJ2KXJr3PF

Nao: “Really?”
365Please respect copyright.PENANAbz8dsHQcD6
365Please respect copyright.PENANAOhjeo6xUXY
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.
