Breakfast was over and the Minamotos seemed to get ready to go somewhere in their casual Sunday clothes.

Meanwhile, I was trapped in the living room with the demon and Bubble.
We sat on the ground.
As she was busy abusing a doll I poked the Mokke to get its attention.

"Are you feeling alright? I know it's pretty bad with her..."
I say in a sympathetic tone as the other gives me a confused look which made my stomach tie knots.

"...it's a bit rough."
Bubble replies while looking unsure of itself which made me scrunch up my face.

Then it continued
"But overall it's fun!"

I stare at the Mokke in disbelief and then answered
"Fun?!... Did they force you to say this?"

I whisper the last part but it only dismissively shook its head.

"No seriously! I thought this would be worse but all that is happening is that I'm playing tag or house with a kid. Yeah, she can treat you a bit rough but it's not too bad."
Bubble explains with a sympathetic sparkle in its eyes.

My heart drummed faster as I crossed my arms.
"Do you mean you are fine with this?"
My voice rose in tone, the poor Mokkes mental state must be worse than I thought.

"Obviously not! She definitely makes mistakes it's just...she is a child. She doesn't mean to hurt you. She learns and tries to be better!"
Bubble stammers and I glare at it in confusion before answering

"I don't get your point. Doesn't matter she is a child she still hurt me."

"Alright I'll get to the point,  I think there is something more to you. Something you keep hidden from us by...pinning your anger on Tiara. What actually made you so distressed?"
It mumbled trying to choose its words carefully but that didn’t help the fear bubbling up in me.

It tugged at strings that hurt so it quickly transformed to rage.
"Pinning my anger?! no..NO! I hated it here, it was pure torture!"
I spoke strained, the fella was digging into places it shouldn't.

"I don't doubt that but it feels like- uhm- ya know that wasn't the end of it-"
The small creature seemed to shrink with each word it spoke under my cold glare.

"Not the end of it? ThEn teLl Me!! WHAT ELSE IS THERE SUPPOSED TO BE?!"
I YELL, clenching my fists.

"I- j-just ... you know, something feels off and I'm w-worried."
Bubble's voice trembled as it looked up at me with big and now teary eyes.

"Blah, blah! I don't need you worrying, I NEED YOU BELIEVING!
Can't just someone stay true to me for once?!? When I say it was like that, it was like that!
BUT NO! Now you, yes you...are taking the side of my enemy?"
I shout in a mocking tone but towards the end, my voice faded into a disbelieving sob.
I kept my smile but everything else broke down in me. Tears started running down my face clouding my vision.

My breath shook and words came out stuttered and slurred but I continued letting all out.
"Why must you all betray me?"

My nose was running, tears dropping and my breath hitching as I tried closing my hoodie. Tugging at the zipper it didn't budge, why must it be jammed now?

Frustrated I continue to forcefully push the zipper further when my hand movement was seized by a gentle touch.

A small hand carefully glided through my hair in an attempt to ease my pain.

I sniffled unsure what was going on.

Next, a soft tissue was pressed against my cheeks clearing my vision to some extent.
