"That's.. This..."
Aoife's hand shook as she stared at the paper in front of her. She looked at it again, and seeing that she wasn't seeing wrong, her expression started to change.
'This doesn't make sense. He voted for me? But... wasn't it Julien who voted for me? Wait, since he has it here, it must mean that he didn't send it.'
Aoife relaxed after her thoughts paused there.
"Yes, this makes sense. He tried to send it, but decided not to in the end."
She took another breath and turned the paper around.
But that was when she saw it.
The words written on the back.
'To my dear sister.'
'Even if no one votes for you, I will.'
'...Even if you might never find out, just know that this was the only vote you received.'
Her hand shook, and her expression started to change.
"This doesn't make sense."
She was sure that Julien had been the one to vote for her.
Unless...
"...He lied to me."
Thinking back, this did sound like something Julien would do.
