"Man, so you're about to be a big brother, huh!?"
"I guess…"
Both Leo and Nathan sat on the swings; the sun had already gone down.
More than a year had passed.
…and it was about time that Leo's little sister was going to be born. His mom was already in the hospital, due any day this week. The two of them were at a playground close to the hospital, since Nathan's mom and dad were there, and Leo's dad as well.
Ever since Leo had joined his middle school's basketball club, he'd started trying harder than ever.
He remembered. He remembered those words from that night when his parents were arguing about him.
She had called him a monster. She had said he wasn't a normal child.
…But Leo had realised something since that day.
It was okay. It was okay if he wasn't normal. It was okay if he was a monster.
As long as Mom looked at him, as long as her eyes were always on him…
He'd be willing to become the biggest monster there was.
