It's almost as if Aoi hears me
As if she decides
that it's best
to sneer
at me.
The kids' door opens
so furiously
I half think that it'll break off
it's hinges and snap.
I flinch when it hits the wall
with a loud thwack.
The sound takes me back
a couple of years.
I wait,
with baited breath
as Aoi storms into the room.
"Get out!
Get the hell out of my house!
Don't touch their things,
you thieves!"
I drop Miria's doll.
It lands and rolls around on the carpet
as we stare at Aoi with wide eyes.
