Clara went out of the restroom and Claire worriedly said, "Are you alright?"
Clara tilted her head and answered, "Yes, I currently am. The allergic reaction didn't worsen so I think I am."
Claire was smiling when she abruptly spoke,"Then, have you gotten the peas out?"
"Pardon?" Said Clara in confusion.
Claire's eyes widened,"You didn't vomit it out?"
"I already ate it down to my stomach, how on earth could I spit it out and it's very disgusting." Clara replied as her eyes moved towards the side, dodging the eye contact Claire was about to commence.
"Ha," Claire sighed helplessly, "As long as your alright.."
Her eyes darted towards the cold food in the table and she choked, "Because of my mistake, the lunch have ended in a mess. I shouldn't have given you the peas, this wouldn't have resulted."
"There's still some things that could be done, but, I have unexpectedly lost my appetite. I'm very sorry big sister. I have wasted your efforts and have made the food cold." Bitterly spoken Clara as head hang low.
"It's fine." Claire shook her head as she then asked, "It's currently two in the afternoon, you should rest in your room. Speaking of which, it's on the left side in that hallway."
"Then I'll excuse myself." Clara said as she walked towards the sofa and dragged her suitcase behind, "Umm..."
"It's alright, you don't need to help. Just go to your room and have fun."

Clara chose to concede, she turned around and went inside her room. The sound of door closing sounded and Claire finally let go of her stiff forced smile.
Her brown eyes darted towards the kitchen again as she held the dirtied and used plates in her arms. She took one step inside before she stopped, she then let go of the dishes into the trash can, treating them as lousy garbage as the clanging of the glass plates echoed, Claire didn't spare it anymore glance as she turned back to the table.
Swiping the food she cooked, she turned around once more and placed it decisively inside the refrigerator. Claire then pushed the ref's door close as she exhaled.
"The way she's acting is out of ordinary, strictly speaking, she should have known about it but she's still smiling like this." Muttered Claire to herself as her gaze shifted towards the picture held inside the wooden picture frame right above the wall.
Two girls were standing closely to each other while two people stood behind. This was the picture taken a minute before the two person's death. Seeing it, Claire smiled wholeheartedly, it was pristine and pure. Her pearly teeth was showcased as she took a red marker from the top of the refrigerator.
"She's behaving so weirdly, did those guys you two raised outside, arrived? They must have erased her memories, cause if not, why would she be clueless towards her allergy-" then Claire exclaimed, "Ah, oh what a fool I must have been, Clara didn't have any allergies, I made her one! This aside, I'm missing my cute spoiled sister I've raised..."
Her hand moved the red marker as she scribbled on the picture. She drew a line in their parent's face, it was drawn over their eyes. Then lastly, she drew a circle, encircling Clara's cute face that was filled with smiles, her hand holding the marker suddenly went crude as she suddenly encircled the empty background that was on the space provided after the man and woman were hugging themselves closely.
"Say,"
Clare spoke. Her eyes moving towards her back as she faced the air.
"Was my cooking really that good..."
"...Meimei?"
Forming within the background, was rippling water. A figure was then formed, somewhat identical to Clara but somewhat not. The entity cocked their head and issued a smile.
"It is."
Then her smile turned slightly pursued as they added,
"If we cross out the poison you've put inside."
