Redemption is an aura that comes once every a hundred years. Whoever enters the Aura once it's complete, will be cured from any kind of sickness and will be immune to any further infections. In this year, Ann has a sister who got infected by cancer...
I am sitting on a chair besides my sister. She was lying on a hospital bed, looking depressed and lifeless. It wasn't for long till my sister started having weird symptoms and chest pains. Our parent's died a long time ago, so as the oldest sister, I had to take care of her. I got myself a job, and raised the money to go check on Sisely with a doctor. Sadly, that only led to more examinations and doctor trips which I had no money for. When I finally raised enough for all of this after years, it was too late. When I first heard those three words...
"She. Has. Cancer."
It felt like the doctor just grabbed a knife, stabbed it in my heart, and dragged it up to my throat. Nothing is more painful than hearing your beloved sister you care so much for having cancer. She is so young, only twelve years old. I couldn't speak. I had no power to. And what's worse, was that I found out extremely late because I had no money to get her a checkup sooner. I couldn't tell her the news. Whenever I tried to, I choked on my own words. She's the one who motivated me to go through my hard times just for her. I lived to provide her happiness, and that beautiful, bright, and angelic smile of hers is something i'd never want to lose.

When I was deep in thought, suddenly a small hand touched mine. I looked up to see my sister looking at me. Only seeing her in such a state brings tears to my eyes. My sister who always smiled and cheered for me to continue and happily sang for me just to brighten up, is now looking at me with a face void of emotion. I pulled my hand away, looking down. I was unable to look at her in the eye. That only turned her face back to the walls. It twisted my heart from the inside to see her in this state. If I could only turn back time, i'd do anything.
I got up and walked to the door. I just couldn't stay here any longer. It's been a year, and nothing seems to be working. "N-No..." I heard a faint weak voice call out. I froze as I knew who it belonged to. We were the only beings in the room. I didn't look back. I couldn't face her. "S-Sorry... I... have to go.." I spoke in a low voice. She went silent...but then spoke up when I placed my hand on the doorknob.
"Do you hate me?" She asked with a shaky voice. Was she in tears? How could she ever think I hate her? I turned around to face her, and she was shaking horribly with the equipment on her becoming unstable. "Of course I don't..! Please stop, you're shaking the medical wires connected to you!" I ran over to her to calm her down. But she wouldn't stop shaking. "Why are you ignoring me then? Is it because I have cancer? Is that why you are avoiding me...?" I shook my head unable to speak. "Of course not! I love you so much I am doing all of this for you!" Are the words I wanted to speak to her, but I bit my tongue. Why? I don't know. I'm just stupid, aren't I?
But then, she stopped shaking and words I never thought she would say escaped her mouth.
