Chapter 2: I am who I am

When I was 9, I worked for a scientist whose name is Dr. Tanaga. He specializes in making things that would help weapons be more powerful. Honestly, I don't know those things but he calls it as N-Jammer. He often ask me riddles, which for me is quite easy even if I am uneducated. He always wondered why it's no-sweat for me answering him. I always answer him that I don't know. Honestly, my brain just works by itself whenever Dr. Tanaga asks me tricky questions. It seemed like I have this alter ego that tells me the answer to this and that. I honestly don't know but it's sort of creepy. Anyway, I stayed with the mad scientist until I was 12 because the was arrested and was accused of a crime that he didn't do, well, I think so myself. He is always kind to me and you would not expect him to do harm to you. He treats me like his own child. He even taught me how to make simple robots myself. Dr. Tanaga once told me that I have the power to discover something very important and very useful to the world but then, seeing my current situation, I don't see the logic in what he said. How can an uneducated girl change a world filled with powerful people?
He was attached with warships, gundams and mobile suits. He even told me of the story of the two wars that was ended, in some aspect, by a group of teenagers who had no choice but to fight. With this, my interest in his stories grew to a very high scale. I saw pictures of the warships and gundams he was talking about and certain people caught my eye.

I am talking about Kira Yamato, Athrun Zala, Lacus Clyne and Cagalli Yula Athha. They were just mere teenagers and for me, I think they never experienced to be one like what I am experiencing now. They are very brave to actually be on the front line of two of the world's devastating and destructive war. Well, don't actually know them but according to what Dr. Tanaga is telling me, that's how I see them. I can't imagine the hardships they experienced seeing many people die in front of them and I, myself can't bear seeing even one person die in front of me. I just can't. Maybe because I have this fear in death that gives me this churning feeling in the stomach each time I think of an actual dead person.

After Dr. Tanaga was arrested, I was in the verge of being homeless again. With this instinct of mine, I was job-hunting every corner of Aprilius again. I met this rich lady whom they call Madam Januaria (I know she has a very wierd name but she was born on a January) or Madam Jan for short. She is a social climber and she wants that everything that she owns is unique. Her clothes are always done by a fashion designer and her clothers are chosen by other people. Unfortunately, I was one of those people.

I met her in the most unpredictable way. I was walking in the street when I bumped into her. All the drawings I had was everywhere and there she was, yelling at me. While I was picking up all my papers, she took one and was amazed by my drawing. She asked me if I was the one who drew it and honest as I was, I said yes. She offered my a job and told me that she will give me a high salary if I will design and be her personal shopper. I was very happy to hear about it and I instantly said yes without knowing the horrors that I am about to face in the future.
