---- Ihad only glanced at the headline briefly before returning to work. In the evening, however, Helen showed me the full video, saying that Janet went straight to Sean as soon as she left prison. As it turned out, she had become mentally unstable in her time behind bars. Hence, after she demanded Sean marry her but was rejected, she said something that sent Sean flying into a rage, and he pushed her off Boswell Tower. Thus, after three years, the photo of Janet's arrest resurfaced thanks to some netizens, although Sean was included this time too. I listened to Helen drone on endlessly about it, totally weary inside. Towards the end, Helen said, "Mom's asking you to go home for New Year's." Still, before I could respond, she added, "I know you definitely don't want to come home, so I've booked a flight to visit you when I'm on break!" ---- Seeing Helen beam on the other end of the video call, I smiled too. "Alright, I'll be waiting." Before I realized it, snowflakes were dancing happily outside the window. I knew then that a new life had begun for me.
