( From the Inbox Call! for Rhea as Green Heart! )

"I heard that you are looking for work, yes?"

It was quite impressive that Green Heart learned of Rhea's infamous at the Leanbox Guild, clearing a A+ difficulty Exterminate quest without calling upon her for assistance.

"I happen to be undertaking a Guild Quest of my own, as a CPU+++ level quest was just posted. I could use some extra support, would you be interested in seeing this Nation's Goddess in Combat, in person?"

“Guess word travels faster than I thought.”

Rhea didn’t sound impressed. More like she was stating a fact. She leaned against her bike, one hand still smudged with grease, the other adjusting some cables. Rhea didn’t care much for titles, but she’d worked enough gigs to know when someone meant business.

“Yeah, I’m looking. Got room in the schedule, long as the job’s clear and the payout’s fair.”

She spoke plainly. No tension in her voice, but no real spark either. Just the tone of someone who’s done this a hundred times and will do it a hundred more, as long as it keeps her moving. “I don’t mind working support, and I’m not here to step on your title. If it’s clean work, I’ll take it. Just don’t expect me to hang around for the speeches.”

"When do you want to set off, Green Heart?"

"Yeah, until you find out that the police now employ drones that can go fucking 200 Km/H and more and easily catch your ass."

What’s your rule number one when taking a job, Rhea? Is there a line you won’t cross, or does it just depend on the payday?

“Rule number one? Don’t die for someone else’s mess. I’ll clean it up, sure, haul it, guard it, bury it if I have to. But I’m not throwing myself on a grenade just because some corpo with soft hands overpromised and underplanned."

"As for lines? Yeah, I've got some of 'em. It ain't about payday. It's about being able to look at myself in the mirror afterward. I've turned down fat stacks for jobs that felt wrong the second I heard th epitch. I've taken scraps just to make sure someone decent made it out alive. Money's nice and all, but it doesn't mean a damn thing if you're choking on guilt every time you breathe. So no, I don't do hits on kids or assassinations in general and I don't burn bridges that didn't deserve it. Clear enough?"”

Dear mom,

I will write about the following, leave one in my ask box.

Mother,

A lot of people expect me to be angry with you, for the things I had to deal with. That’s ridiculous. If anything, it’s you I have to thank for being here, for living. You led me to greatness, to saving the few people who love me. You were my own saving grace, and you kept me strong. I’m afraid I would have failed were it not for your support. 

It hurts, to think about the past. But I do not place the blame upon yourself.

All I’ve ever wanted is to make you proud, mother. And I know that I’ve failed. I was a horrible man, throwing away all the things that you hold dear, and I truly can’t wrap my head around why you are still here. I’ve done anything but be the man I promised you I would be. I’m so afraid to admit these things aloud, that I’m writing it instead in a letter; as though saying these things makes me weak. 

I’ve been cruel and arrogant and neglectful of my family my whole life. And I know that that is the ultimate insult to yourself and to your kindness. I cannot thank you enough for everything, and I only wish that I can be better, like I’ve always said I could be. 

For all your understanding, thank you.
