How can I baby look so hideous?
The thought doesn't escape my lips
I value my life
and I don't want to be beaten
for speaking my mind
Carelessly.
But the thought persists
as I glance at the new baby
in Aoi's sweaty, fat arms.
She holds it close
and coos.
The attention will last
maybe a few weeks
or a month, maybe
but be prepared, Ugly Baby
she'll turn her back to you
the second the new season
of her drama starts to air
and I'll become your new mother.
Zeira ogles at the baby
Miria shares my thought
and starts screeching as soon as her eyes land on him.
Suki stays silent
and doesn't let her eyes stray
from the tile floors
I glance back to the baby
and school my expression.
He's so ugly
He looks like an alien
The voice in my head leers.
I brush it away,
It's not your fault, Ugly Baby.
Father and Aoi are at fault.
You didn't do anything wrong.
I hope we can be friends.
He seems to meet my gaze
and it's like he's trying
to tell me something
with the way he widens
his deep dark eyes
and gurgles softly
