章 46: Hypocritical

On Friday morning, the four individuals had breakfast together—in harmony for the first time. As usual, Eliot sat at the head of the table, Eira sat on his right, Marianna on his left, and Myra, who had been beaming with smiles since she woke up, sat directly beside her mother.

They all had said one or two things, except Myra, who had been in her own world, answering questions with one word and nods. Meanwhile, Eira, who didn't feel like "acting," simply hummed to everything Eliot said to them.

Besides saying that they were a family and thus had to treat each other well and have each other's backs, Eliot also asked Myra if she'd learned her lesson, after asking Ephyra if she'd forgiven Myra.

Myra had nodded, while Eira didn't answer, thinking, If she hadn't forgiven her, would she have pleaded for her?

Eira simply wanted this farce of a breakfast to end—no, she wanted the entire day to end.
