I can't really deny it much longer, can't I?

It was the question that was haunting Callista's mind ever since she first entered Beacon. It wasn't something she could wholly ignore for much longer.

''I won't have a family to go back to when I graduate. No father to welcome me home...and no mother to hug me and tell me how proud they are of me. I can't hide that much longer...''

The girl looked at the other students in the library with evident envy, knowing most of them would have a home to return to. She had nothing. Not even a sister to help her out. The thief would be trown to the mercy of an unforgiving world alone. And she knew she wouldn't last very long on her own.

I'd give anything to have a family again...

Slowly, but surely, she succumbed to her thoughts and emotions. Callista began to cry, covering her eyes as tears flowed down her face like twin waterfalls. If one looked, her body was shaking as she sobbed.

"I-I...j-just...w-want..." her grief wracked voice sputtered out between sobs, "T-To...b-be...h-happy a-again."

Her voice finally stopped as the sobs consumed her, letting out something akin to child's plaintive wail. Despite all that Arro said and did...it was hard to feel happy, even with him around to comfort her.

I need more than just him...I need to hear a mother's encouragement...and a loving embrace...that family can provide...
