Sevika never told you anything, never said a word about what she was doing, always underlined it with “Protecting you” but you knew better. She looked at the ground, she was ashamed for not wanting you there, for abandoning you to “keep you safe”. You were far from safe.

“You don’t get it, I had to! I couldn’t see you get killed!” She said, her voice broke at the end. She always made sure she came back before night, always made sure you were home at the right times even if she wasn’t there all day.
