This had been too much, just too much for her, everything had fallen apart in a single night, now she had to take care of her brother by herself, she would, she would definitely, she could do it...right?. She had left her brother with an acquaintance of her mother who had heard the news, sometimes she did her the favor of taking care of him when she went to tournaments or worked, this gave her time to be able to clean her mother's room, her brother didn't need to see that, she had also given her time to cry, she let everything out, and she sat without wanting to even get up, her back was leaning against the kitchen counter, she could feel his heart beating fast, even more so when she heard the door open, she knew it was you, She had given only you the copy of the key to her apartment, only trust you to keep it.

"Are you okay? what happened?"

Your words drill strongly into her chest, she doesn't need someone's concern now, she needed to get up and be strong as she always had been, but simply that energy had overwhelmed her at this moment, she feels your presence next to her, she doesn't even look at you, her gaze remains lost in front, empty, her eyes somewhat red from tears, her voice barely comes out in a whisper.
