Lily's POV
I had always believed in my brother.
And today was no different.
Even though it was judgment day.
I knew he would pull through like he always did.
He's my brother, after all!
My family wouldn't—
…
'Fuck.'
'I can't believe this.'
'I don't want to believe this.'
I didn't know what to think.
I didn't know what to say.
Tears began to fall from my eyes.
Drip.
Drip.
They fell to the ground like a waterfall.
"Heh..."
'What should I say?'
I went to class like usual.
I had fun with friends like usual.
I enjoyed my day like usual.
As if nothing was happening.
Why?
Because I believed in my brother.
No.
That wasn't quite right.
'…It was because I pushed off those worries in my mind.'
'Yes, I do believe in him, I always will.'
'But he's a human too.'
In my quest to near his stage of excellence….
I seemed to have forgotten that.
'I'm a bitch, aren't I?'
Knock! Knock!
Mother knocked on my door again.
But I didn't respond.
