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.

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.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSAfAAZh2O
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkY9cIstyV
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.

Nao: “Why do you care?”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8M9LFgUut
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkvwG4K51w
Alyson: “I don’t, but I do care about Mo-…Nell. I also want to make a deal with you.”

453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVUCS2nozF
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdAi8WpQAF
Nao: “…Why do you want me to stop so bad?”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtJVFuBQOt
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbwf3Ode5D
Alyson: “Because you’re going to upset the balance.”

Nao: “What balance?”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUaWkQYwiY
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcIIrlJsGH
Alyson: “Of the world! Losers will be losers and winners will be winners. No one can change this.”
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdiuafrmMK
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSW0377W9MW

I wait until Alyson leaves so I can get ready for dinner. I go to the bathroom, wash my face twice, and my hands until I can’t feel anything.

I spit those words out onto the face reflected in the mirror. The short, pudgy-faced murderer with nice eyes.

I won’t have to look at this face much longer. I turn away from this old me and face an uncertain future.

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.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxURzcY6dbo
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxAMD0ii24
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.

I flinch from the onslaught of memories while Alyson looks at me.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01FSgv1LLc
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPu9On8u3Pf

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.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyKi2iMeVn

That’s all I could take of her warmth. I left back to my room and flopped on the bed.
