                                 HEADLINE: THE MURDER OF PRINCIPALS OF LOCAL EDUCATION CENTER:

                                                                 ASHLYNN MCGARRY AND LUCY HIRATA

     Josephine dropped her plate of Ritz Crackers she was eating, and it shattered on the grey tile floor of her living room. 

     "Wh-What? Ashlynn and Lucy are......dead?" Josephine cried. Her father ran in from the kitchen with a concerned look. 

                                     REPORTER: AHSLYNN MCGARRY AND LUCY HIRATA FOUND DEAD AT 

8:51 PM LAST NIGHT AT THEIR VERY OWN APARTMENT, BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN DRUGGED AND                      

SUFFOCATED IN THEIR SLEEP. 

                                            SOME LOCALS EVEN SAY THAT THEY SAW A MYSTERIOUS MAN 

ENTER THEIR APARTMENT PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT, AND THAT THIS MYSTERIOUS KILLER MIGHT BE              

THE CULPRIT TO THIS CRIME. 

MORE AT 11.

     Josephine turned the TV off and sat in shock, with the shattered plate at her feet. 

     Moments later her dad rushed in, concerned.

     "What is it Josephine? Are you okay? What is so important that you have to break a perfectly good white plate?" He demanded. 

      Josephine turned towards him with a hurt expression, still holding the cracker she was about to consume with a trembling hand.

     "Two of our education leaders...Ashlynn and Lucy....they're fucking dead!" Josephine wailed.

     "What did I tell you about using that language? Next time it's a slap on the wrist if I hear another curse word from you!" her father screamed. 

     Chisa walked out of the bathroom, mildly upset.

     "Why are you guys screaming?" she asked. "Is Josephine ranting about the system again?"

     "Chisa, Chisa! Ashlynn and Lucy have been murdered!" Josephine blubbered at her sister.

     Chisa's face expression didn't change, her focus then changed to the broken plate at Josephine's feet.

     "Oh." she said with a monotonous tone. 

     She then walked over and started cleaning up what was left of the plate, completely oblivious to Josephine's growing rage. 

     Josephine was in shock, she started shedding tears of anger. 

     "What the hell is wrong with you? Our leaders were just killed!"

     "No, Mr. Markus is still left." Chisa calmly snapped as she stood up and threw the broken pieces of the plate in the trash.

     Josephine was fuming now, she stood up from where she was sitting and furiously wiped her tears.

     "But those were still two good perfectly good people! For god sakes, they were running our education!"

     "They were ruining the system, they were trying to get rid of what Mr. Markus started." Chisa now started using a firmer tone, her face becoming more stern by the minute. 

     Josephine always cared too much for people, worrying herself over people that probably haven't even met her yet. Buying people packs of pencils for class when they forgot to bring their own. Giving random people hugs was her favorite hobby, ''they looked sad'' she would argue. Her father always thought she was a typical woman, and called her a control freak. But inside he always felt like she was a kind soul with a lot of love and emotions to share with the world.

    But Chisa thought Josephine was dangerous. 

     "Josephine, stop caring about people who don't even know you. Your emotions aren't needed in education, and it doesn't help you concentrate on learning. If anything, this incident is a blessing, those leaders were trying to change the system, but without a straightforward way of learning, we can't use our knowledge effectively. Markus is the only one who REALLY knows how to train students."

    Josephine grit her teeth and glared, she couldn't believe what she was hearing, but this was typical Chisa. 

     "You only care about damn education don't you? I bet that if you had a choice, you would choose your idiotic classes over your own family! And what is this term you use, "train" students? We aren't in the military Chisa. We aren't mindless soldiers of a dictatorship. Or are we? Because apparently that's what you and Mr. Markus want for us. How dare you say that their deaths a blessing, you heartless BITCH!" 

     Josephine stormed towards her room, past Chisa, who's expression still remained the same. Josephine stopped at the entrance of her bedroom, facing her door, still tearing up, and angry inside. Her short black hair was ruffled and messy from screaming and raging.

     She turned back towards her older sister, with a face full of pain. 

     "All I wanted was the life I had back then, the life i used to have in elementary school, when I enjoyed learning."

      And with that last statement, she slammed the door to her room, and cried herself to sleep. While Chisa still stood in the living room, motionless, and expressionless. She turned to where their father was supposedly standing, but he was already gone. Everyone had gone to sleep.

     But not Chisa, she had something else to do.

The neighbor's country music still continues to play throughout the night....
