With Mare having suddenly disappeared, her sister Naias was left to be the only one left at home with her family. From that point, her father's attention he put on Mare then split between them to aid him in stealing from the public was put squarely on her talents with singing. They couldn't even truly rely on Tenemari anymore to be the head thief of the family. Really, she hadn't been able to find the heart to pull any of her formerly usual heists and sunk into wandering the halls, wine glass in hand as she drowned out her emotions. Naias however was getting more and more frustrated as time went on, realizing this was probably part of why Mare had even left in the first place. Getting back from another day of robbery and vocalization, Naias wanted to just decompress and as such decided to visit Mare's old room. Flopping down on the bed she noticed something underneath the pillow the spine of a book, she took it out and cracked it open seeing what this was all about. 2 Years ago Mom and Dad finally are letting me do it, I'm gonna be playing out in the streets where everyone can hear me and listen to my music. I'm so excited I think I'm getting butterflies floating around my stomach, I can't wait! They even got me a new violin to play, its all silver and gold, it's really quite pretty. I'm not sure where you'd even buy that sort of thing or how much it could have costed. I wonder if Nai will get a microphone kinda like that someday, then we could perform together and our music will be even cooler! Could we sell out out a stadium some day? I think I'd really like that. That's all for now though, wait why am I writing like you can talk and respond, you're a diary.....well whatever, it helps me get stuff out I guess??? Bye bye. Three Weeks Later Ever since I started playing for people, we've been really well off, even more than usual. I'm glad that I can be a help to them with my playing. Naias, I hope you hurry up and practice so we can perform together, we'll blow them all away! The decor around the house may be getting a bit fancy for me though, it's like I'm visiting someone else's place or something, it's a little weird. Hmmmm, anything else I can talk about right now? Oh, I think I'm finally getting used to playing this fancy violin, it was a bit weird at first because of how heavy it was but it really does sound wonderful, alright I think that's all for now, see you some other time. Two Months Later So, Naias has begun performing with me and at the start we were drawing even more people in and mom and dad were even happier but recently I think the crowds have been getting even smaller..I'm probably just imagining it though. I'm really glad we get to share this time together now though even if not as many people come, it's still really fun. Mom says she wants to take me out on a trip soon and start teaching me stuff about her job, I wonder what it'll be like, actually, what does mom even do again? She's out for days sometimes, even a week or two occasionally. Wait, what does dad do, its the same way with him and usually at the same time, I guess they work at the same place but it gets a little lonely when they go. At least I have Naias and you to talk to, see ya next time. Three Months Later Well Diary.....I guess I know what mom and dad do now and how we can afford everything. Apparently they steal things. Not from regular people or anything but from greedy rich people who take advantage of the island's poor. I don't know how I feel about it but I guess if they're bad people it isn't so awful. But she made me cut the glass and I think I'm kinda good at it, not sure how i feel about that either. It was kind of an exhausting trip, I think I'm gonna cut this one short tonight, til next time... One and a Half Years Later It's been forever but I have some things I need to get off my chest. They lied to me, they lied to me and Naias, How could they do that? They don't steal from bad people, they just take from anyone that they think will net them a nice bundle of cash. I can't believe they'd just straight up pull that kind of shit, did they think they could hide the truth forever and I'd just stay entirely ignorant? I don't know if Naias knows yet, I hope she doesn't find out. I don't want her to feel as used as I do, she doesn't deserve it. Why can't things just be like they were, me and her just playing music on the streets, people tossing a little cash our way in the violin case, that was nice, maybe I'll talk to mom and dad and see if we can go back to that. I'll try not to wait so long before writing again, diary, bye. Three Months Later, Again. HOW FUCKING DARE THEY!? THAT'S NOT WHAT MUSIC IS SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT, THEY JUST KEEP USING US, I CAN'T FUCKING DO IT. I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANY MORE... I just wanted to play music and have fun, why does it have to be like this? I don't know how much longer I can keep going on here, they used our songs and music to steal from people in the crowd, its disgusting. I feel disgusting, I helped them for years to do this. No wonder the crowds were getting smaller, I bet they thought I was in on it too....maybe I'm no better than either of them, I knew they stole from people, good people, and I did nothing. I've done nothing. I need to leave, just get out of here and forget it all. I guess this is the last time I'll be writing for a very long while. Good bye. Parts of the last page had been spattered with small drops of blood, had Mare bitten her lip? Gripped her pen so tightly that she cut into her palm with her nails? At the bottom of the page, there was a bit of dampness too from Naias crying, this is why her sister had left, she'd had no idea how Mare was feeling this whole time, no idea that any of this had been going on. She was just too happy performing with her sister to have paid real attention to it. Maybe if she'd done something she'd have stayed. Probably not, but maybe she would have asked Naias to come with her. Then at least she wouldn't be so lonely, there she was though, thinking about herself again, this had to have been why she was left behind, Mare probably thought she was some sort of selfish brat. But now that she knew everything, she felt even worse, not only about herself but what she'd been a part of. She knew what she wanted to do now though, she needed to find her sister, she needed to find Mare and apologize for being such an idiot, being so oblivious to everything around her, for not being a better sister. |
