"Have you never thought that if they didn't plan on giving Kanae a surprise on her birthday, your parents wouldn't have died?"
The question that Sakura threw at her caught her off guard. Laura's eyes narrowed. The day their parents died was also Kanae's birthday, to be exact, Kanae's fourteenth birthday. That day, their parents went out to buy a cake for her sister, but they never returned.
Laura gripped the hem of her clothes tightly.
It would be a lie if she said that she never thought that it was her sister's fault. She did, and she was ashamed for that. Their parents always celebrated their birthdays by buying a cake and giving them presents. It was extremely normal.
What was different from usual was that a fight between clans had erupted at that time. It was their parents' unfortunate luck to get involved when the clans were fighting. She understood this very well, so she shouldn't have blamed her sister. It was something that she would never think of, ever, again.
