Chapter 54 Silent Struggles

• Leandro killed my mother because he wanted revenge. He did it because he believed she was responsible for the deaths of two people he cherished - his grandmother Sophia and his grandfather Benjamin. I want to say I can't blame him. That's how they exact retribution on those who wrong them. You take lives, and lives are taken in return. But what about me? They took my mother away from me.
• I clung tightly to my pillow. Even if it was just an inanimate object, it felt like I had something to hold onto, and I feared that without it, I might crumble completely.
• Crying and thinking about various things, I fell asleep. I wished I wouldn't wake up. Maybe in my sleep, I could be happy for once, a happiness with no end.
