She looked at the pristine white powder with an unreadable expression. In her mouth was a lollipop, watermelon flavour, her worst nightmare.
The man in a monkey suit picked up a packet, teasing it in his hands in front of her enticingly. She eyed it. Then he smiled and opened it. "Free of charge" he says and let the mouth of the transparent plastic packet hover in her sight.
Nihil used the back of her teeth to crush the candy in her mouth. Her tongue surveyed her mouth for anymore crystallised sugar stuck on the plastic stick. There wasn't any and she pulled it out.
"So," – she finally spoke, the people around her stood up – "You're basically saying that you won't give me my promised money and take these drugs as substitutes?"
Red eyes, the colour of blood, beamed at her contact. He felt a chill, cold and unforgiving. His guts communicating with an unfamiliar language. Was… he afraid? No! Such superior beings like himself would never be afraid of a little girl. Never!
What could this fragile glass do anyways? She's just riding her daddy's cocktails unlike him who worked his way up the ladder.
He laughter echoed in the factory, his girl beside him looked at him weird.
"I'm being nice to you, little lady. I've no cash but I'm offering you pure drugs, y'know. Pure substance. You can't get it these days. Be grateful, you little shi- lady."
"Mister What's his name?"
"It's Valeon, miss." Jacob offered.
"Right, Mister Valeon-"
"That is not my f*cking name! It's Valentino, you sh*tty as*hole! Valentino!"
Nihil looked away and sighed a loud, vexing the drug dealer.
"Whatever your name is, if you continue to use vulgar language in business, you'll never get far."
A vein popped.
"You… you little sh*ts!"
"Should I continue then? The people who follow are idiots. They might join in your daily need to oppress the weaklings but I'm sure they thought about it too. Isn't the boss so childish? I don't get why we bully those people instead of earning more profit. Is it really necessary? The boss's really stupid. Can't even wear a suit properly with a tie. What is he? A monkey?"
"Shut up!"
"And the boss sure throws a lot of tantrums, even though he's an adult. I have to agree with them on this. A small time crook trying to be a big fish. More like a baby acting all superior in a room of real weak hearted adults. Why ain't it fun for you, akachan? Just to satisfy your inferiority complexion you harass others."
"Yeah, so f*cking what? They're all sh*ts!"
Nihil smiled, "It's pathetic."
The palm of his hand bled rivers. He doesn't seem to have noticed it when he went blindingly red. His fist flew in the air as he threw his entire weight onto it. He threw it.
He threw it at that girl who smiled at him.
"Hello?"
"How was he, Nini?"
"No good."
"I thought he could skim through your standards. But I guess he's no good then…"
Silence hung in the air.
"Did you kill him?"
"… Dunno."
Jacob was right beside her, hand ready in case she needed to hold it. She accepted it and hopped off of the human pile.
EXTRA!
"Watermelon flavour should just be banned!"
"That won't be good, Milady…"
