139 Taking out this Torment (2)

—Phone call—

"Emmy, that experience is traumatic for me, indeed. I have been locking myself in my room and only come out to eat with my family in silence because I don't know how to handle this."

"That feeling is eating me from the inside, and I don't know how to vent this… until you give me the idea just now."

What idea? An idea to screw it all? 

I wondered by myself, but since Elise was now on my side, things should be a lot easier. 

"So you're willing to help me, right? In any way possible," I asked, hoping that she'd accept it and ensure our victory. 

"Yes, in any way, I will help you."

…

Wow, I had to admit that I wasn't this strong. When I was in her position, all I could do was cry and lament my fate because that was the only thing I could do back then.

If only I had her courage and bravery, maybe stuff would be slightly different in my last life.
