Don't Cry Anymore, Mom.

Don't cry anymore, Mom.

Dad isn't here to hurt you anymore.

There won't be any more beatings, and you won't get hurt ever again.

So I want to see that lovely smile of yours again, like you used to have.

...So why are you still crying?

That thing's already dead, so no matter how much you scream, it isn't going to move.

Wait, don't tell me you still loved him after everything terrible he did to you?

You knew he was abusing me, too, right?

You always used to say, "Someday he'll go back to being a gentle father," but...

We both suffered for so long. It hurt, didn't it? It was terrible, wasn't it?

That's why I killed him for you.

...*Sigh*... Fine, I get it.

If you want to see Dad that badly, I'll let you be with him.

So...

Don't cry anymore, Mom.

I love you.
