Interlogue. Cinderella Wears Pants


"Hey it's Lisa-Marie here mommy. Why did you have to leave?" I asked, holding my shotgun at my friend's headstone placed on my parents memorial site. I held my hand to my face, trembling. Yet my tears gradually melted away. I wanted to be happy they were together.
I loaded my shotgun, got myself a Guillotine Gun. I wanted to see the Seatak gang fall. They killed my mothers and aunt. "I have 'The Aimer' with me now."
"Are you ready to go Lisa? We have heads to sever." Ursula said, she was the cousin of Anna-Marie.
"Let's take down some imperialist scum."
I wanted to make the lakes no longer dirty and filthy, polluted with the bloods of innocents along the shore of the distant technological future. I wanted a better future, a new hope. So there is never a dead Hemato and Anna again.
It's time to return the favor for saving me. I wanted to save people's lives. Look I know mom didn't believe in capital punishment.
But this is self-defense!
"Cinderella wears pants!" I said, hiding my face from Anna's cousin. "Please, don't feel like a failure anymore mommy. You did what you could for Anna. 'The Aimer' tells me so. I want to see you smile."
For the first time, I felt like crying. Yet it was different tears.
It was tears outside of my own abuse. Anna's cousin holds me, kisses my forehead. We exchange kisses under the city lights.
The moon is huge tonight.
