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.

I breathe a sigh of relief and get dressed for the new day. I place my school books in my bag and get ready for school.

Through my door and then downstairs.

341Please respect copyright.PENANAl2GUPaIdEz

I go back upstairs and knock on Alyson’s equally plain door.
341Please respect copyright.PENANA8EMN6PA65q
341Please respect copyright.PENANACrAyIMAloX
Nao: “Alyson!”
…

Nao: “Fine, I’m coming in! I don’t want to be here longer than I have to.”
341Please respect copyright.PENANAv9pN71Z9B0
341Please respect copyright.PENANAn93QIGt03F
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.
341Please respect copyright.PENANANBmnEVP07G
341Please respect copyright.PENANA8JMFAOgxdr
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.
341Please respect copyright.PENANAGdWL7gQIMZ
341Please respect copyright.PENANA4qwKJk8mWx
She must have stayed up all night studying? Why? She’s perfect as is.
341Please respect copyright.PENANAiN69xPECOE
341Please respect copyright.PENANALCk1apyGLb
Alyson: “Mmmmm.”
341Please respect copyright.PENANALVF7RndgWo

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

Arc: “Shapeshift at the basic level won’t change your stats. You can give yourself a six-pack and large arms but the power that comes with it won’t be there. It’s an illusion while meditation will eventually give you those looks along with the stat increases.”

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.

341Please respect copyright.PENANALpKExvaRsF
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.”
341Please respect copyright.PENANABTLFi5ijoR

Nell: “Anything interesting happening at school?”

I flinch from the onslaught of memories while Alyson looks at me.
341Please respect copyright.PENANAgeLMUtzOp9
341Please respect copyright.PENANA29FmZ8qzsb
Alyson: “…Not really. I’m still at the top of the school and Nao is still Nao. Nothing changed.”

Alyson: “T-Thanks Nell, I try. Speaking of I need to cut this meal short.”

Nell: “What? Why?”

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.
341Please respect copyright.PENANAPT4yt3RURd
341Please respect copyright.PENANADJnL129NRy
Nell: “What?”
341Please respect copyright.PENANAMqdMwzRB0G

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.”

Saying that to myself like a lullaby, I slowly drifted off to sleep.
