"Did Alara deserve this? Maybe, maybe not. You might wonder what her fault was, but in the past, she made a terrible mistake and then simply ran away. The real cost fell upon those she left behind: her mother and brother.
Her mother, once vibrant and full of life, was now a shadow of her former self. She wandered through their home like a ghost, each room a reminder of Alara’s absence. The laughter that used to fill their house was replaced by a suffocating silence. Neighbors whispered behind closed doors, their pitying glances only deepening the wound. Each day, her mother struggled to find purpose, her hope dimming as she grappled with the void left by Alara's departure.
Her brother’s suffering was no less profound. Once a cheerful boy with dreams of his own, he became a figure of sadness and confusion. He faced taunts at school and struggled with feelings of abandonment. The burden of questions and the weight of his sister’s actions made his days feel endless and bleak. He questioned whether he was somehow to blame, his self-worth eroded by the constant scrutiny and the pain of watching his family unravel.
In their agony, they felt as if they were merely existing, not truly living. It was as if Alara’s actions had cast a long shadow over their lives, leaving them to pay a price far beyond what she had ever endured. Perhaps this is why they felt that she had, paid the price for her mistakes."
