Later, when Aria Rowlett went to attend senior high school in the city and lived on campus, Issac Rowlett had no one to check on him as he spent less and less time with his sister.
Combined with the doting and indulgence of Mr. and Mrs. Rowlett, Issac completely let himself go, falling into the company of ne'er-do-wells.
Yet now, Issac was still willing to listen to Aria.
In his eyes, his sister, Aria, was kinder to him than his parents.
Issac never cried in front of their parents, but in front of Aria, he burst into tears, "Joanna, I know only you truly care about me. I was wrong, I really do realize that. If I can get out this time, I'll never make the same mistake again."
"Joanna, how great it would have been if you had stayed home all those years. I certainly wouldn't have ended up like this."
"I hate Dad, I hate Mom. Is it their fault I ended up like this?"
Aria was silent.
