A REALLY REAL-FEELING DREAM

Seina continued to receive punishment as usual, and her legs started to hurt more and more. Though he wanted to shout that the world was treating him unfairly, nothing could be done because everything had already occurred.

Seina murmured to herself, "You know Lan, I'm just an ordinary woman who is occasionally vulnerable."

Even though she was a happy person inside, her heart was worn out, and she truly wanted to shout and inform her mother.

Only if...

Seina's eyes grew dim, and she nodded off. She had a dream about a woman that resembled her mother a lot.

"Mother..." Seina murmured inaudibly.

The mother simply grinned before Seina repeated it.

Seina murmured, "I'm lonely."

His mother hugged him and stroked Seina's hair as she grinned. Although he remained silent, his smile was soft and sincere.

Seina kept muttering, "I'm annoyed at school, I want to tell mum."
