Beneath the surface

"Sometimes, I wish we weren't sisters. It's been so hard having you around."

As tears stream down Daphne's face, her voice quivering with emotion, she looks deep into Isla's eyes and speaks with a wisdom beyond her years. "Isla, no matter how much we may struggle to understand each other, I could never bring myself to inflict such pain upon you. I believe in the power of empathy and compassion, recognizing that every person carries their own emotions and battles within. Hurting you would be a betrayal of that belief, and I could never do such a thing."

The weight of Daphne's words hangs heavy in the air, causing the entire schoolyard to fall into a profound silence. Not a single sound can be heard, as everyone is captivated by the depth of emotion and wisdom emanating from Daphne's heartfelt confession.
