Emma Smith couldn't understand how someone could disappear so silently for five years and then suddenly reappear, just like how they vanished.
After reappearing, they looked at her with a stranger's face, as if they had never known her or her sister. Their memories of them and their lives were just erased like that!
She suddenly felt resentment and anger burning within her. Why did they disappear so suddenly at that time, that moment? Why did they suddenly reappear with an innocent expression and a stranger's gaze?
She wanted to rush over to him, grab his collar, and loudly question him, "Why did you disappear five years ago? Why didn't you visit my sister one last time? Why?!"
Too many whys piled up in Emma's heart. Each layer was like shackles, locking her tightly in place. She was like a trapped beast, struggling fiercely but only ending up hurting herself.
