The Scholar Brother

"You can't stay here, Yohana. It's dangerous for you. Someone is targeting me, and you might get the brunt of it," Fabian tried to reason with her.

"But you should have discussed it with me before you decided. It is my life, Fabian! You have no right to make a decision without my say!!!" 

Runa screamed at the top of her lungs with her fists clenched. Right after she stopped screaming, she felt the stinging around the burned part on her arm.

"Aw…" Runa dropped to the bed, touching her arm. She tapped lightly on the wound. Even though the anger faded when she felt the pain, the tears were not affected.

With a tear-drenched face, she looked up at Fabian. "Please… I can't bear being away from Niels. What will happen to his body now? I want to stay until the funeral, at least."
