It's been eighteen months since the first phone call from the unknown number and the calls have only gotten more frequent. I answered the last call that came through, but didn't say anything. I just let the person on the other line talk. It was my sister. Vale has been trying to get a hold of me for a year and a half. Apparently, she's tired of suffering because I don't want a relationship with her. Mother passed away a month ago, so now Vale feels completely alone. Why did she come to me with that feeling? Doesn't she understand that I felt like that for eighteen years? Haven't I suffered enough? Why does her suffering matter more than mine?
