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.

595Please respect copyright.PENANAJix8ba5eYU
595Please respect copyright.PENANARucDh6tB0D
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANA9830np2wHd
595Please respect copyright.PENANAkwxV3Ph3CP
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.

595Please respect copyright.PENANA33HlRyS4gr
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.
595Please respect copyright.PENANAeIJkaBABez

Nell: “What?”
595Please respect copyright.PENANApkuKh4v8oY

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.”
595Please respect copyright.PENANAoQRA0VlEN3

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.”
