[Warm Up]
Lawrence woke in the early morning when he felt the mattress sunk.
He was not in a deep sleep. He was half awake ever since his sister woke up –– again, by nightmares.
He wanted to ask and comfort her, but he knew she didn't want that. He knew his sister would only feel guilty because she didn't want anyone to worry about her.
That's just how she is.
She didn't want to trouble anyone.
When his sister got up, he knew where she went and who the person she seeks refuge.
He was pained and frustrated that he couldn't do anything to help her. He wanted to grow up quickly so he could support her as the demon could.
