XXIX: Face Your Brother

After a really long day of genuine physical and mental torture, I looked forward to going home so badly. I had Kai drive me graciously. Though the wonder twins insisted on driving me, as they were the ones that picked me up in the first place, I refused them.

When I got home, I knew it would be quiet. My older brother had work and so did my parents. Grandmother told me she and my younger sister would go out shopping, so I was pretty much safe.

I removed Kai's extra helmet and thanked him.

"Call me if anything ever comes up, okay?" he says after taking the helmet from me, placing it in the back compartment, and vrooming away.

I sniffled and wiped my nose, heading inside.

I squeal at the sudden shout of my name.

"LILAC LOURDES DAHLBERG!"

I turn to whomever spoke and easily found Roux. He was in the same clothing he woke up in, an indication he did not even leave the house, meaning he lied about going to work
