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.

467Please respect copyright.PENANAwp1wZ4m8i8
467Please respect copyright.PENANAkGjQSvxxeQ
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.
467Please respect copyright.PENANAnILXqCG166
467Please respect copyright.PENANAhOMfcON3hE
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.
467Please respect copyright.PENANA1HaVILMvZ6
467Please respect copyright.PENANAnReuBus4RB
She must have stayed up all night studying? Why? She’s perfect as is.

467Please respect copyright.PENANACnVGvz1bcc
Alyson: “Mmmmm.”
467Please respect copyright.PENANAVZereUekgS

Let’s shake her a bit but not too hard. I don’t want a punch to the face.

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.

467Please respect copyright.PENANArQq6FXo0tr
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.

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.
467Please respect copyright.PENANABwhq5ljg6f

Nell: “What?”
467Please respect copyright.PENANA7WpOrK4VIY

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.

Nao: “They were trying to kill me. I defended myself, it’s okay. I did nothing wrong. There was no other way.”
