Her palms were sweaty as her father questions about the box of cigarettes on her study table, just beside several little post-it notes of Jung’s Collective Unconsciousness. While the dark skinned man kept throwing words of threats towards her, she steadily looks at the cupboard door swamped with her recent colorful sketches. She recalls advising Alex earlier this morning to quit smoking as it would rob his life even before they could legally make babies. Coming back to reality, she heard her father barking out loud “Better go and die!” and left the room. She swiftly rushes for the door knob to lock it and instantly rang up her friend, Natalie. Instead of pouring out her sorrows of what just happened, she continues their conversation about a funny guy named Rustin Hieber. It is as if she laughed and danced through the field of grave without feeling any pain inside. She knew that even if she had defended herself a moment ago, the old man would still glorify her brothers for being such righteous beings.
