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.

437Please respect copyright.PENANAqE7eQd08bo
437Please respect copyright.PENANABpAl55CdAW
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.
437Please respect copyright.PENANAmJf4k6v33x
437Please respect copyright.PENANARHVXLxUchB
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.
437Please respect copyright.PENANAiy00tnRakw

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.
437Please respect copyright.PENANALmYBhmi4sA
437Please respect copyright.PENANAErs72qH4Av
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: “Anything interesting happening at school?”

I flinch from the onslaught of memories while Alyson looks at me.
437Please respect copyright.PENANAhJ6asbQScz
437Please respect copyright.PENANAhRfAQrIGpW
Alyson: “…Not really. I’m still at the top of the school and Nao is still Nao. Nothing changed.”

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.
437Please respect copyright.PENANAub4h0DspZB

Nell: “What?”
437Please respect copyright.PENANA4dWzSs7cld

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.”

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.
