Reason to Live: Triela's Diary
Entry 9: The New Girl
January 1st
Dear, Diary
New Year! Anything much gloomier than this? Besides Rico and Jean who're out to Florence this morning, we got ourselves 'cherries'. No, not the fruit type. Today we receive…
…a new junior operative
I don't know what to say, but she's just 'there' this morning in the auditorium where old Hillshire and the rest of the handlers lecture on their boring and lousy studies. All I can comment about her is the fact that she's a silent and studious one. It's almost like…she's just 'there' to appear one moment and disappears the next. I was called forward again this morning by Hillshire (since obviously, I am the brightest person in the Agency's list of cyborgs) and asked to continue the class for a second; probably due to his 'personal' matters…a girlfriend, probably? Now why am I feeling so jealous?
"Easy question, easy answer. Continue your ramble…"
Anyways, I decided to go forward to this new girl and try to get to know her better somehow. So I decided I'll walk up to her and talk to her for a moment, ignoring Claes' simple and rather 'dumb' questions all around.
"It's called philosophical questions!" I said clutching the book harder this time "The one who needs these 'dumb' and 'simple' questions is YOU!!"
She's fine…that's what I think. I was surprised to find her spacing out in the middle of the class though. She's staring…staring at the empty white board; almost like she's in a trance. I nudge her once, seeing how spellbound she is and got her attention before I began questioning. She's very shy, but after a few short conversations about our current study she's pretty much an open person. I can tell she's calm…VERY calm indeed; even after a little 'joke-insult' I accidentally pulled out.
"Lucky you," I said chuckling "I was hoping she'll clobber you one night!"
Her name is Monica, the junior operative of Romeo; her handler. Well, DUH! Obviously, why would she be here if she isn't a junior operative? Anyways, both of them began their active service here in the SWA starting today. It's nice seeing new faces rather than the old usual smiles. Sometimes, things like are one of the few relieving things in the SWA since the death of Elsa.
I only managed to grab a little conversation for half a day though. That afternoon, Monica is shipped out to Florence with Romeo immediately to be 'field tested', as well as in hopes to assist Rico by distracting a major number of Padania. I don't know the details too much, but I heard they performed quite well…but not effectively. Monica got herself shot by her waist on her first day, while Romeo almost got himself distracted…or so I heard. It's glad to see they're still alive though…
All I can say is…welcome to your new life, Monica!
"Monica…now that you mentioned her, she is almost always in her room studying something about...YURI? Nevermind...goddamn imagination. Must limit myself from reading too much over-exagerated romance novels!!" Besides me, Monica is one of those operative who's combat capabilities is below the agency's requirements. I've always been alone, so it makes sense. Monica, however, is already 'bad' from the start. Credit falls to her handler too...
