Milo took a deep breath and stared at Leah firmly. “Didn’t you tell me yourself that you were going to apologize to Charmaine?”

“Yes, I said I’d apologize,” Leah replied, her expression twisted with discomfort. “But I never said I’d apologize in front of the whole class! It was right after class, and everyone in the entire grade was there, watching…”

Her voice began to tremble as tears welled up in her eyes. “I begged Chara. I begged her to find another place to talk, but she refused. She even said something about how my parents must not have raised me properly… She used Mom and Dad to threaten me! What was I supposed to do?”

She tilted her head back and a single tear rolled down her cheek pitifully.

“Milo, do you think it’s my fault too? It’s Chara who won’t let me go!”

Milo’s fists clenched tightly and took a deep breath. “Leah, it doesn’t matter where or when–you can always apologize. We, the Nelsons, have nothing to hide or fear. If she asked for an apology, then give her one. But…”

He wanted to ask, “Why do you have to cry?”

Before he could speak, Leah had already buried her face in her knees, sobbing loudly.

“You’re blaming me! You’re not my brother anymore! You’re siding with Chara–everyone’s siding with her! Fine, it’s all my fault, okay? I’m the one who causes trouble for everyone. I’m just a curse, a walking disaster!”

Milo’s face grew taut, his expression icy.

Unlike before, he didn’t try to comfort her. Instead, he turned his face away in silence.

He wanted to instinctively support Leah, as he always had, but this time, he couldn’t.

For the first time, he questioned whether they’d gone too far with Charmaine. Had they hurt her too much over the years?
