Showtime

The new year was upon us, and a strict curfew was implemented. I had the biggest event of my life to attend, at least for now.

I was mentally preparing myself while sitting at my house. Miette was seated next to me.

Her gaze was directed right to my face when I looked at her.

"Gorilla"

"Reo ?"

(She didn't react ?)

"Hmm?"

"We are continuing our lives as normal for quite some time, right?

"Yeah ?"

What an odd question.

"Are you at peace, Reo ?"

"What would you say if I say I am?"

I oddly answered her odd question.

"I feel like you are not at peace, Reo... It's been 4 months and we..."

She didn't continue.

"Nothing is going to happen Miette. I am with you, everyone is with you. Everything is going so smoothly"

"That's not the point anymore. You know, my parents have not been home for 4 months. There are countless letters now from them which makes me happy that they are alive but Reo, are we even happy anymore?"

"I don't know."

I was honest with her.
