Chapter 44: Options

Justin sat silently with his sister, the both of them ignoring each other's presence. They had been sitting for a while now, but neither of them had spoken a word to the other.

They had returned from the funeral few minutes ago, under the supervision of a grade three Advocate. He was currently outside keeping guard, while the siblings filled the entire place with silence.

"So...how have you been Ashley?" Justin spoke first, inquiring of his sister's wellbeing. But the young lady by his side wasn't willing to further the conversation he was hoping to have. "Ashley I'm talking to you" He reminded but still got no response. He really couldn't blame her actions, it was his fault and he was to be blamed. He had been ghosting his own sister and she had every right to be mad at him.
