The reason I bound myself to the System was for them. On a trip to the zoo, we were in a horrific crash. Their lives hung by a thread. My desire to save them was so powerful it summoned the System.
I used two revival chances to save Dad and Mom.
The next year, they had Grace. They still loved me then.
But when Grace turned ten, everything changed.
She suddenly told them that the car accident years ago was my fault—that I had tampered with the brake pads.
I was shocked. I explained desperately, weeping with anxiety, but they didn't believe me. Their hearts turned cold.
The very next day, I went to pick Grace up from school. At an intersection, a drunk driver plowed into us. Grace was critically injured.
I used a revival chance to save her.
When Grace woke up, she didn't thank me. She cried and told our parents that I had pushed her into the path of the car. She claimed I did it to punish her for telling the "truth" about the brakes.
"Big Sister told me she can revive me anyway, so I wouldn't die!" Grace had screamed, pointing a finger at me with absolute certainty.
My face went numb with shock. I demanded to know why she was lying.
