    Reader note

    This short story is really good. The plot is intricately woven, making it impossible to put down... ❤️ The protagonist's younger sister commits suicide, jumping off a building at such a young age. The older sister begins to search for clues, uncovering the coldness of human relationships, the psychological problems a young girl might experience, and the issues with her parents—all quite thought-provoking. As for the ending... I won't spoil it, or I won't be able to read it.
