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.”
391Please respect copyright.PENANACEYpcYaHDd
391Please respect copyright.PENANA49QiWLNJJ3
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.
391Please respect copyright.PENANAYJbrObJtjh
391Please respect copyright.PENANAGaieyBF4w4
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.
391Please respect copyright.PENANAdnR714uJoO
391Please respect copyright.PENANAT9fG7wj9xU
She must have stayed up all night studying? Why? She’s perfect as is.

Alyson: “Mmmmm.”
391Please respect copyright.PENANAZvhmjZy7I7

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.
391Please respect copyright.PENANAAiY1Miq0eS
391Please respect copyright.PENANAsB06yjLQ9W
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.”
391Please respect copyright.PENANAmxcXcGxBOs
391Please respect copyright.PENANAL502xsEgDd
Nell: “Anything interesting happening at school?”
391Please respect copyright.PENANAKGlSfzdH1E
391Please respect copyright.PENANANa9vpNMqhm
I flinch from the onslaught of memories while Alyson looks at me.
391Please respect copyright.PENANAHqd7fFe4tL
391Please respect copyright.PENANArz0lgfeMSu
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?”
391Please respect copyright.PENANA9aA8yCpCBa

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.
391Please respect copyright.PENANAipr7lOSlid
391Please respect copyright.PENANAPUCojYkLge
Nell: “What?”
391Please respect copyright.PENANAQRBW8mv56q
391Please respect copyright.PENANABM8DikKecS
Nao: “Nothing I…just wonder about this school assignment. Can you help me out?”
391Please respect copyright.PENANAilRxtXU5pS

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.”
391Please respect copyright.PENANAdoj9gHTMj2
391Please respect copyright.PENANAqGdabC98KP
Nao: “Really?”
391Please respect copyright.PENANAaOPuytHOJN
391Please respect copyright.PENANAbopOJMA13D
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.”
391Please respect copyright.PENANAGvL8kjrl60

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.
