Kallen couldn't remember the last time she'd felt so worn out from a single day. (No, that was a lie. She could remember plenty, but it really had been a while.) Trying to take care of those who didn't want the attention... she sometimes wondered how much easier her life would be if she weren't so damned stubborn.
C.C., Lelouch... they were absolutely exasperating at times, but she cared too much to simply give up. Again, that was her problem. She cared too much.
Fortunately (or perhaps unfortunately), an easy remedy had been provided for her by some whimsical act of mercy (or well-masked cruelty) by whoever ran the institution. She stared at the punchbowl, almost transfixed on the unnatural color of its contents.
Well, it certainly was the more eye-pleasing alternative to the water.
