=====================
As we were walking upstairs I noticed how the colors of the walls and the lights were slowly changing, from wild and bright to more subtly and elegant.
Our both was the third after reaching the end of the stairs. The more you go down the hallway the more the number of people that the booth can accommodate, and I choose one that was enough for four people, since there wasn't a smaller one.
Opening the door, which was there to offer privacy to us, I looked around it. Inside of it was a circular sofa around a glass table, offering a great view of the second floor, a be great enough to accommodate four people and a mini-freezer with a see-trough door displaying many non-alcoholic drinks. There was also a device on the table so that we can order snacks or drinks that aren't already on the booth if we want it.
It was told to me that the wall displaying the second floor was a fake mirror, allowing us to see the other side but the other side not being able to see us, allowing us the privacy to do whatever we wanted or simple enjoy the view after we are finished.
Looking back at Anna-nee I could see she was nervous, fidgeting while standing, clearly uncomfortable about the current situation.
"T-Taka-chan, can we talk..."
"Anna-nee, sit" I said in a commanding tone.
She looked at me surprised at my tone, but meekly did as I said. I normally wasn't one to act like the one in charge, but considering the situation we were into she could understand why I didn't give room to debate.
After she sat, I followed suit and sat at her side.
"Well, I'm glad intervened before you did something you might regret, Anna-nee"
She flinched at my words. My words clearly hit her, since now her mind was more clear and she was able to think better about what happened downstairs.
She breathed deeply a little trying to calm down. Finally, after she had regained some of her reasoning, she looked at me again.
"Taka-chan, thank you for your help there. But I need to ask, why are you here?"
That was a reasonable question. This place isn't a place a normal high school student would go.
"I followed you"
"F-followed me?!"
"Yes. I know that you come here since last year"
My response made her face turn beet red. She was likely utterly mortified that I knew what she has being doing for so long. Not surprising she did whatever she could to not be discovered.
"You really shouldn't come to a place like this Anna-nee. Someone might try to do something that you won't want with you, like that guy downstairs"
"I-I know that. It's just that-that..."
"You were stressed"
"!!" she looked at me in surprise. She was too caught up in the fact I knew about her comings here to imagine that I might know why.
"You come here every time you feel to stressed and when doing at home isn't enough"
"Y-you know about that?!"
Hearing her question I couldn't help but smile dryly.
"You weren't exactly holding back your voice Anna-nee"
My response made her face be even redder and she looked at the ground.
Just as a clarification, my room was beside her and Rina's room was on the other side of the corridor in our room, so while I knew about what she was doing Rina likely didn't knew.
"It's just that... it's so overwhelming! Everyone expect me to be perfect and I try to do that, I try to disappoint anyone but... but... it's just too much! Coming here... doing those things... I could relax... I could pretend I had to satisfy no one... like I could just do whatever I wanted!"
Her venting went on for a few minutes, about how much she was stressed, how much she wanted to escape of everyone expectations, about how much she just wanted to do what she wanted for once.
After finishing talking, she stayed quiet for a while until finally, without looking at my eyes she spoke again.
"You must think I'm terrible" she said in a dejected tone.
"Not really. I'm just happy you finally let that all out" I said.
Hearing my response, she timidly looked at me and got surprised at my expression towards her.
I was showing the most gentle smile I could offer her.
There was nothing in what she said that could bother me. I lived with her enough to know how much she cared for other people, especially her family, and about how much she try her best for every one.
So something as little as like coming to this place wouldn't push me away from her.
"But-but I was doing those things. Looking at people doing those lewd things and... and..."
Before she could continue to talk I embraced her, silencing her completely.
"T-Taka-chan"
"There's nothing you could do that would make me think less of you Anna-nee. I just wish you had trusted in me help you when you feel so overwhelmed. I love you Anna-nee, and that's never going to change"
My words seemed to have worked because she hugged me back.
We stayed like that for a while until finally she separated herself from me.
She had a small smile on her face, like a huge burden had being lift from her shoulders.
"Thank you Taka-chan. I feel much better"
"Hehe,glad to be of service"
After my response she blushed a little.
"N-now, can we go? It's embarrassing to be with you dressing this?"
At her question a simply smiled, but this time with other thoughts in mind.
"No"
"Huh?"
"I said that i wanted to help you, didn't I? That's why we are here"
