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.”
436Please respect copyright.PENANAAEbgscKnzd
436Please respect copyright.PENANAiBwpsWLV5Z
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.
436Please respect copyright.PENANA8zwR5O3cAU
436Please respect copyright.PENANAJflcpNsgkP
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.
436Please respect copyright.PENANAaT84gGGn58
436Please respect copyright.PENANAxaHTTMfc6c
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.

436Please respect copyright.PENANADuhPYpzxYU
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.”
436Please respect copyright.PENANAnRNhR6Irol

Nell: “Anything interesting happening at school?”

I flinch from the onslaught of memories while Alyson looks at me.

436Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9FgQidG3t
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.”

Nell: “What? Why?”
436Please respect copyright.PENANAfKZ9GnxaaI

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.
436Please respect copyright.PENANANHEnqjNyAs
436Please respect copyright.PENANASEA9OEJPfv
Nell: “What?”
436Please respect copyright.PENANAwVsojnJFmP
436Please respect copyright.PENANAwn51BZPLWs
Nao: “Nothing I…just wonder about this school assignment. Can you help me out?”

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.”
436Please respect copyright.PENANAnuYamIfoNH

Nao: “Really?”

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.”
436Please respect copyright.PENANAQs7HQUbGU7

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.
