"Em, shut the damn window, it's freezing outside."

Dishes clatter in the kitchen.

"Sofia!"

I can't see her, but I know she's rolling her eyes. I reach out and flick the latch, sealing myself inside with no oxygen and suffocation as my friend.

She's been angrier, since it all happened. Since our sister was cut up into pieces and her insides spilled out on the earth around her, since she held the hand of some guy I've never even met while the life drained out of her eyes.

I couldn't get it out of my head, that moment, when everything inside of her went still, when the glass walls around me shattered into a million shiny little pieces. I cried about it for a while. At night, when no one could see me. I'd bury my face in my pillow and pray that the air would leave my lungs, that maybe I'd get to join her again.

But who am I kidding? Life is never that merciful.

Sofia didn't see it, when a blade I'd stolen kissed the soft skin on my wrist, when the river behind our house turned red before my eyes. I would only try when I was alone. She was out at the market, or with a friend, maybe. If she even has those anymore.

"Emmanuel?"

I was passed out when Mum woke me up, crying like there was no tomorrow, frantically wrapping my wrists up in fresh white cloth.

"What were you thinking? You have another sister, and she's still alive, for God's sake."

"I know Mum, I know."

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

"I'm sorry, I won't do it again."

I kept my word.

She's not Raquel, but she's my sister. And I guess that'll have to be a good enough reason for me to live.
