Alyson: “I-I’m sorry for black listing and siccing Anton on you. You may be a failure but I shouldn’t have made things worse. That was immature of me. I’m also sorry for letting you get bullied for so long. Even failures don’t deserve that treatment.”

Mom looks up at me with a mix of fear, disappointment, and…concern. Whether that concern is for her safety or for me, it doesn’t matter. I turn away from her, I can’t look at her after everything I’ve done.
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwD9BAyHo7

We went about our tasks without saying much. The atmosphere was serious and thick with tension. Only Alyson wasn’t affected. She’s really put in the effort to make this a family dinner.
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVovd2qbuP
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpckVxadxA4
I can’t dwell on it too much. I want to put my best foot forward too, regardless of the outcome. Eventually, we finished our tasks. Mom’s on one side while me and Alyson sit across from her. 337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzUPRAjAK4

For the next 10 minutes, the light of our flight slowly returned to normal. No, back to where Alyson and I were friends. When we were kids and didn’t have so many problems. The desire for success and the burden of weakness.
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6VTKOG86A
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ta0i36kw8
But that weakness, I’ve outgrown it thanks to Arc. If Alyson can be less worried about her image then maybe everything will be okay.

So we talked and we laughed. Those 10 minutes nearly brought me to tears. I didn’t want it to end. But as the time for the meteor shower approaches, the tension returned. It’s time for everything to be revealed for the 3rd time.
