Go to the Roof for a Drink

"Go to sleep, go to sleep, grow up quickly…" Helena muttered. She waited for Amelia to fall asleep before standing up quietly. Although she was a ghost and would not make any sound, she was still as careful as when she was alive.

Chris's heart ached the more he looked at her. He wondered how Helena had lived during the two years they were not around. Back at Miller's house, Seven had imitated Helena's painful voice and begged Jonathan to give her some medicine. Chris clenched his fists. They could not bear their sister to be in even a little pain, but when she was in the final stages of her illness, she needed to beg a scumbag to give her some painkillers. Why was this world always so torturous?

Chris's throat was bitter as he followed Helena out the door in a daze. Helena asked, "Fourth Brother, aren't you going back to sleep? It's already very late."
