Her First Visit (6)

Annabelle had been pondering many things since she saw Eva on graduation day, and after meeting and talking more today, her thoughts only deepened.

She wasn't sure about many things related to Eva, but she was sure now that something is off about her. Yet, at the same time, she also felt that Eva shouldn't be a bad person.

But that was as far as her certainty went. So, leaning against her brother's chest, wrapped in his arm, enveloped in his quiet affection, everything else seemed to fade away. In that moment, she felt like she'd confirmed something far more important.

She felt as though she'd finally confirmed her place.

Which, naturally, should be right beside him! Closest to him!

He could navigate things with Eva slowly, and she would be there beside him, to take care of him, to make sure he wouldn't get hurt. Wasn't that enough?
