"Why are we doing this?"
Chara wheezed through her teeth. "You know why, Asriel."
I did. I decided to rephrase that.
"Why are you doing this?" I choked out, watching Chara's shaky breaths as sweat beaded down her forehead. She was sick.
She contemplated for a moment, licking her parched lips. It was so weird seeing Chara bundled in bed, quiet and unmoving. I thought she was angry at me, the way she stared at me said so, but then her mouth wobbled. Chara smiled.
"Because I want to."
She was usually a good liar.
I nibbled on my nails, stirring an argument, but then she flashed her teeth and all the dimples and perfect indents on her cheeks flashed up at me. I sighed and shook my head, tears threatening to spill down my face. Even now, I was afraid of her.
"Now go get mom and dad."
