Reason to Live: Triela's Diary
Entry 7: Thank you Hillshire!
December 30th,
Dear, Diary
Thank you SO very much Hillshire for your 'impressive' reward of yesterday's action! Thank you SO very much for returning ME back to the SOCIAL WELFARE AGENCY while Henrietta and José took their walk in Piazza di Spagna! Thank you SO very much for handing me YOUR GODDAMNED PAPERWORK AND YOUR DETECTIVE NOVELS! WILL YOU CUT IT?? I HATE SEEING PAPERS AND PAPERS ALL DAY! I HATE READING DETECTIVE STORIES WITH TOO MUCH TWISTING PLOTS! I HATE BEING TEASED AROUND BY SOME PERVERTED OLD MAN WHENEVER I WENT INTO THE OFFICE; YOUR GODDAMNED OFFICE WHERE YOU WORK! Goddamn it I just want a decent reward! A walk around Rome or something close to it! Is it so difficult for you? Goddamn Germans are hard to understand...
"Triela…you're not talking about Hillshire and I am you?" I said twitching "Check the mirror girl, I presume you're German!"
But anyways, I eventually finished his paperwork. Yeah, all those were political based, so I don't understand a crap of it. That's where Hillshire took control of the paper and hands me a new one; which is another political based whatsoever. Then again, he'll take it over. Now when I think about it while I write in this stupid book with blank pages in it…
…I haven't done a thing to help him
He finished his work and let me go. Freedom! So eventually I decided to stroll around the SWA headquarters trying to find a decent job to do. Then Claes came up and asked me to help her clean our room for a moment. I declined it, said that I have work with Hillshire; his paperwork precisely, and that I am heading towards his office; which is a lie. Hey, I don't want to get myself involved in another back-breaking home-cleaning duty!
"Oh so THAT'S a lie, huh? Sneaky bitch…you know how tiring it is to clean both mind and YOUR stuff too!?"
So in the end, I visit the indoor firing range and train myself with my side-arm, the P230. Really now, I'm sick and tired having to help Hillshire most of the time when he is supposed to watch over me. But of course, I couldn't blame him too much. He was looking for me soon after and decided to take me to the movies and watch something that I prefer. Hey, finally a nice reward! And I'm almost stupid enough to turn it down! So this time I say, thank you Hillshire for FINALLY understanding what I wanted: a decent reward in the movies!
…I still wish a tour around Rome though…
"Now that explains where you get the idea on that flower you bring the next day…I knew I've read that description of yours somewhere…" and so I sigh, fixing my glasses once again before taking a look around. I take a small peek through the door, checking my surroundings if the two have returned. Good thing all I find is Beatrice walking around with her usual flat-face. I close the door slowly, making no noise before I pull myself a chair and continue…
