Rotti Largo paced back and forth in the highest corridor of the Gene Co building. The rich, red fabric that made up the carpet beneath his feet was a one of a kind, rare fabric, a whole different colour to one the world of peasants knew, and it was very, veryexpensive.
He pondered, that this carpet had been paid for using the money people had given him, for organs, organs that had caused many lives to be saved from fading, and caused even more lives to be abruptly ended. Life. Health. Fashion. Doom.
And he walked on it.
How fitting.
Rotti continued to ponder as he walked back and forth, back and forth, back and forth; he'd already decided to focus on something – anything: the way that he walked, the carpet, Luigi's newest test score (top of the class, of course. At this Rotti felt a small swell of pride) – then what was taking place several floors below.
His thoughts were interrupted by the sounds of a door opening and closing, Rotti looked up to see a wrinkled, thin-haired man in a white coat approach him cautiously, it was common knowledge SurGENs didn't like surgery for fashion, only for health.
"What is the news?" Rotti growled at the SurGEN, who was fiddling with his hands nervously, the man tried to say something that came out intelligible, "Spit it out boy!"
"Y-you're wi-i-fe," The man stuttered, "S-s-sh-she didn't make it. She d-d-die-died o-on the table…"
Rotti's face went livid and his entire body became as stiff as a pole, his eyes bulged out of his head slightly and his upper lip quivered. Like something out of a cartoon, the SurGEN noted.
"Well then," despite his comically furious appearance, Rotti's voice was calm and steady, he lay a hand inside his jacket, seemingly over his heart, "I suppose you and the other SurGENs will have plenty of time to fix your mistakes."
"Sir?"
"Because you and your miserable colleges will all buried six feet beneath the ground along side her!" Rotti howled, and he drew his gun from the inside and his jacket and shot the SurGEN straight through the head.
It's to be said: he left a stain on the carpet.
