The peace feels wrong now.
The silence is unsettling
and my heart is restless.


It's been a day since Zaina and her family
returned to Japan.

Two days since my fight.
I miss Mei and Kiya,
and texting is good but it's not the same.


"Harmony, darling, I have an idea.

Would you like to hear it?"


Mother says suddenly.She stops chopping up the vegetables
and looks over to where I sit at the breakfast bar,

with my homework spread out in front of me.


It's nearly time for dinner

and I can hear Suki humming as she reads
in the living room behind me.


"Is it about school?"

"Yes."

I hesitate,


"...Okay."
