"Mama, Papa, don't worry...Yuno will make us all a family again soon!" A broad smile stretched across the young girl's face as she slipped into a daydream. Yuno was in a better mood than usual, ever since she came up with a plan to mend her broken family. It had to work. She was banking everything on it.
"I can't go back to that place again..." Despite her good mood, she began to tremble when the thought crossed her mind. The cage had always been a horrible place for her, but after the last time...she didn't think she could handle going back in again. She had never been so close to dying before, and it terrified her. Yuno was trying harder than ever to be good, no…not just good, perfect, until she could enact her plan. So far it was working; her mother hadn't had a reason to punish her for three days straight.
"Papa's coming home today, so I have to do it tonight..."
"No one else will help me, so it has to be this way. I have no choice. I have to save my family myself."
Yuno would finally show Mama and Papa how she felt. How terrible her treatment was, how it felt to be locked away and abandoned. The toll it took on her because she felt so scared to even make one mistake, because one mistake meant she would be punished harshly. Her parents weren't bad people - she was sure that once Mama saw how much she had made her suffer, she would apologize to Yuno and stop punishing her like that. And Papa would see how much his family needed him, so he would come back home more often. Yes, it was a perfect plan, and she was so excited to have a fresh start with her parents.
"And you're the magic potion that will make this all possible~" Yuno giggled to herself and looked down fondly at the bottle of sleeping pills which she had swiped from her mother's nightstand.
