Part 2: Enigma
She’s worked so much to be where she is now.
She’s studied hard. She’s lost nights reading the right books. She’s done what her heart told her to do.
And now, she’s the Assistant U.S. Attorney.
Her childhood dreams have become true; but so have her fears.
It’s always been obvious to her that she can’t bring balance to this world. Good and Evil can’t cancel each other. One of them eventually wins.
Overachieving has to mean something. She has to have enough power to turn the balance towards light and vanquish the darkness of violence and death. She knows she’s not dealing with innocent children; the men she prosecutes are big fishes and they know how to take revenge of the people they don’t like.
There are always risks. Her name is known, her work is on reports all the time, her face sometimes appears on TV. She hates the passivity of not being free someday. Just the idea of having to go into Protective Custody because of a case gets to her nerves. She needs to feel the power of being in control of her own life and being able to put a guy into jail so that he doesn’t take any more lives.
Her little successes are recognized, which is great. Yet to her, it’s not enough.
She remembers well her parents’ efforts to send her to law school, how much they tried to cheer her up when she came home drowning in frustration for things never being fair. They gave everything they had to allow her to achieve her dream.
She still has the old violet book - Nietzsche’s book, the one that almost made her drop out of law school. It’s a source of energy, of courage. She’s come a long way. She can’t stop now.
She doesn’t know if she’ll ever be able to make a difference. To her, this is an enigma.
But like she always says, that won’t stop her from trying.
The End.
