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.

348Please respect copyright.PENANA483XmO0i1B
348Please respect copyright.PENANA2nKLBIOuhK
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.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAyahcTCL7FK
348Please respect copyright.PENANA7WglVE1eoc
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.
348Please respect copyright.PENANANgZPNYgWV6
348Please respect copyright.PENANAHafe4E8c8A
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.

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.”
348Please respect copyright.PENANAEjgyMJHAls

Nell: “Anything interesting happening at school?”

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: “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.

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.”

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.
348Please respect copyright.PENANADdRjZSjb1z
348Please respect copyright.PENANApXVDLP60z2
Nell: “What?”
348Please respect copyright.PENANAZMYaWOzXTX

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.”
348Please respect copyright.PENANA5QVReZXYM3

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.”
