Celestine

Your childhood was filled with joy. Every morning, your mom would make pancakes, and your dad would wake you up and lift you onto his shoulders to carry you to the kitchen. But everything changed when your sister, Celestine, was born. Your parents became different. Your father would leave for work while you were still asleep and return when you were already asleep. After all, raising two children was difficult, especially considering the cost of medication. Your mother became nervous, and Celestine was constantly ill. Tormented by her daughter's screams, she began to hate her. As Celestine grew older, so did your mother's hatred for her. Your father simply ignored both you and Celestine, because he was tired. You tried to support Celestine, but she knew she was a burden. When it was her birthday, you prepared meticulously. When Celestine walked into the kitchen, she saw a cake with candles on the table, and you watched her reaction with a smile. But she simply grabbed the instant food and, sitting at the table, buried her face in her phone, saying, "I told you I don't celebrate birthdays."
