SCHOOL SHOP
▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃

THERE ARE A few times in your life where you felt elite, but not more elite than others. A mere gesture of refinement elevates in you. You had that sentiment on the day you tried on your work clothes the first day yoi arrived, and the next time being when you wore the wedding dress from that practice play. Now, yoi felt extravagant wearing the Yumenosaki uniform.

You checked yourself in front of your mirror, viewed every angle, and adjusted the blue blazer a couple times for positions. Never had you been so thrilled to go to school, you could almost hop around your room and cheer your little heart out.

"A few pics wouldn't hurt." You take your phone and opened up the camera app. You snapped a few pictures out of fun, purely for your own memories. "I actually look great in this. I guess this is proof being around the right people brings you confidence." You laughed at yourself as you moved from one angle to another angle. You're too occupied with yourself, you couldn't hear the quiet giggles of your mother and brother at your door.

"Nee-chan looks like she's having fun." Vinny glanced up at his mom.

"You're right. She must be very excited to join her friends." The woman chuckled. She finally knocked on the door. When it notified you, you froze up in place with your phone in midair. Comically turning to the door after an excruciating second of embarrassment, Vinny bursted out into a laugh. "M-mom?! Vinny?! How long have you guys been standing there?!"

"Only for a minute." Her mother responded, "I haven't seen you this electrified for school." She walked in. Vinny followed along, and soon, he grasped onto your hands. "I told you school is fun!" The little boy grins, "Did you miss it?"

"It's surprising to me, but I kinda did..." You scratch a cheek with a finger, "I'll be more busy from now on, but I plan to pursue education for my career. I want to keep improving myself, mom." 

"We're going to support you in that. That also includes your fight to get Crazy:B their slot back." Your mom nods. You sigh, averting your eyes away with a touch of shame. Your parents have been assuring that none of any drama is your fault, but you have a feeling like you could be doing more. Your gaze settles downwards when Vinny tugs at your sleeve softly.

"...Is nee-chan gonna be okay? Is Vinny gonna be in the way?"

"Where did that come from?" You asked. His golden pupils shook emotionally as he bit the inside of his cheek.

"Vinny has been worrying about the time you spend with us. You've been working overtime for a few days now..." Your mother explained, concernedly. "You're not forgetting to take breaks too, right?" A thoroughly arrow shot you through the heart with killing guilt.
