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.

286Please respect copyright.PENANAlVxYsyiH8W
286Please respect copyright.PENANAtAj6dzyhNO
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.
286Please respect copyright.PENANAFSA3OFHee9
286Please respect copyright.PENANASaXa8L2CnU
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.
286Please respect copyright.PENANABRwEN7HFF1

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.

286Please respect copyright.PENANAWIzY5CxemJ
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.”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAvAgKEnmz28

Nell: “Anything interesting happening at school?”

I flinch from the onslaught of memories while Alyson looks at me.
286Please respect copyright.PENANAlPiC6w5Kgg
286Please respect copyright.PENANAQbunjPZIPF
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?”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAm5GW4aCnU8

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.

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.
286Please respect copyright.PENANAA8sf7aMX8r
286Please respect copyright.PENANAeTxIfjPZVC
Nell: “What?”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAvWhP8nY0qk
286Please respect copyright.PENANA3n7e5tqTbd
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?”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAEG0fhcAKQA

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.”

Nao: “Really?”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAW5CXc429eG
286Please respect copyright.PENANAFj69jee1SN
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.
