Kirko is based and we need him back

> So, apparently, there's a new girl at your work place
> You've seen her a couple of times but never had a proper conversation with
> All short, skinny and always dressed in a strict professional way. While she looks like she's still in her late teens.
> You're only casually greeting each other and that's it 
> She would ignore you sometimes and she would never even look at your direction
> But what you heard about her is that she's a hell to work with
> Very cold and emotionless, but taking her job very seriously, while sacrificing many other things in return
> And oh boy
> No one knows anything about her, she refuses to discuss casual topics on the workplace or simply to talk to anyone, always isolating herself from the others and constantly scolding her working partners for every little sloppiness
> It looks like she's scared shitless to lose her job or something
> So yeah, after a while everyone already hates her and kept asking the superior to change partners
> Settings up dirty tricks on her and making her work more than the others
> As so do you seen them doing
> One day on the meeting this topic was brought up, that's no matter who she works with, everyone is just pushing her away because of her stubborness and closeness. And that maybe she should consider finding a new job
> "So now... of course we can't get you fired for no reason, Sparkle, but everyone here is like a family. Working in the collective is not just about professionalism and deontology. You're not gonna do any good for yourself if you'll just keep pushing everyone away. And you didn't get accepted on this job quite legally, in case you forgot."
> She squeezed the hem of her skirt tighter, a small shiver running through her body
> "Y-you have no right t-to..."
> "Of course, of course not. But we'll find a reason if we want to. I'm really sorry, Sparkle. I really do. Sue us if you want, but that's how things been working here from the start."
> And all of sudden there's a ruckus of approval everywhere
> Jesus fuck, man...
> "Now, ok, everyone, let's don't be disrespectful here. I think we can give you one last chance, per se."
> You look closely at her
> Hunched over, she's looking at her feet with emotionless expression, trying to make herself look as little as possible
> What did she even done to everyone to deserve all this shit? If she's quiet and not suffering from the gabbing diarrhea, that doesn't mean that she had to be put down. Or so you thought
> "Ok... who's willing to partner up with miss Sparkle in the next month?"
> And the sounds of uncontrollable silence started playing. No one cares about her. Even the ones who had different shifts from her.
> You look at her again. She winces, then drops her head in her hands, shaking
> Poor girl
> ...well, your drunkard buddy is going on a vacation soon, anyway
> And she looks pretty cute
> Aw, what the hell
> "So, Sparkle, it that case, we have to... oh."

> Determined, you raised your hand and everyone looked at you with mixed expressions of surprise and disapproval
> While she slowly averted her sad expression from her feet to look into your eyes for a second, then hung her head back

> It's been a few weeks since you took her under your wing, and... yeah, no matter how hard you tried, she just won't open up to you. Girl's been avoiding discussing anything beside work, telling you what to do and how to do things right
> Even when she's not quite correct sometimes
> Slacking at work has become way harder
> And there's a 5 or more years of the age difference between you and her, and your new colleague is still awkwardly trying to boss you around
> Which you don't hate her for
> Which you don't care
> Which you don't mind at all
> Which you find cute about her
> You do as she say with a smile on your face. Even when she's not right, you will wittily explain it to her, and she'll just turn away without saying anything
> You will try to make her life easier
> She never thanked, apologized or asked you for anything
> After so much time you spend with her, she won't even accept a piece of chocolate bar of a cup of coffee from you
> Saying that she brought her own. Which is a lie
> Saying to focus on the work instead
> Saying to stop distracting her
> To stop calling her Taiga and remind you of etiquette
> Which you don't mind at all
> And everyone is still asking you to stop bothering and help to kick her out
> Asking how the hell did you manage to make her so attached to you 
> And you will ask in return, how can you call this an attachment at all
> But you wish she was
> You really want to see her smile, at least once
> But one day, after an exhausting week of neverending work, you really got used to her rhythm and achieved a lot together
> And the next morning, instead of an indifferent "hi" she actually offered you a handshake

> Which was the most heartwarming thing that has ever happened to you in your entire lifetime
> Feeling the skin of her skinny palm in your hand was so intimate, that you swear your heart has skipped a dozen beats in a row
> You almost cried a little while changing into your work uniform
> Just be professional, Anon
> That what she wants, afterall
> She still won't open, but seems a little bit more relaxed in your company. She's been more around you overall, in fact. Avoiding the others for obvious reasons. But you won't mention it. She is welcome to sit at your little dining table in the corner at any time.

"Hey, Twilight. How are you today?"
> "I'm ok, why?"

"Twilight! How are we doing today?"
> "...

"Oh. Good morning. How are you today?"
> "Ok."

"Oh hello, Twilight. How are you today?"
> "I'm ok."

"Yo, Twilight!"
> "Good morning."

"Are you hungry, Twilight?"
> "I will take a break, you don't have to worry about me."

"Oof. You wanna take a break? I'm starving!"
> "You can go. Don't worry about me."

"Hey, take a cookie. It's really good!"
> "I'll decline."

"Whoa, damn... that was a crazy day today, eh?"
> "It was busy, yes."

"Man, what a shift..."
> "It was, indeed, busy, why?"

"I'm really exhausted! Are you?"
> "Yes."

"Twilight, have you slept today? You look tired."
> "It's my business."

"Hey, let me handle that. You go take a rest."
> "No need. It's my turn."

"Whoa. You look good today!"
> "O-ok."

"Oh hey there, pretty."
> "A-anonymous! You're at work!"

"Oh, hi. Nice haircut."
> "U-um..."

"Oh. Love the new dress. Looking good on you!"
> "Sigh... ok."

"Your... your glasses is a little dirty here."
> "Ok."

"Twi, your back is in plaster. You must have leaned against that wall."
> "It's Twilight. I... ok."

"Whoa, let me help you carry those!"
> "...ok."

"Hey, you forgot your phone! There."
> "Ah... I see."

"Mornin'. You forget to sign a few papers yesterday. I did it, don't worry."
> "Oh! Um... ok."

"You go can go home and rest, I will handle those."
> "B-but, I... ok."

"Damn, those cases are bigger that you. Let me carry those."
> "Y-yeah. Ok."

"Your stomach hurts? Wait, I have a pill for that..."
> "It is... ok."

"You broke it? Ah, don't worry. I know a tech guy who'll fix it for free."
> "Oh..."

"Lost your ticket? Hey, stop shaking, it's fine! I'll buy you another one!"
> "Y-you will? Ok."

"Hey, get under the umbrella, jeez! You wanna catch pneumonia?"
> "O-ok."

> ...

> " ...t-thank you."

"Come again?"

> "N-nothing."

> But, unfortunately, good times don't last long.
> Firstly, your partner came back from the vacation.
> And, apparently, you both did so well, that you got a big promotion. You, but not her
> Which is a little unfair. You have been working for this company for years afterall and everybody don't quite appreciate her, but still
> Guess you have to discuss this with the big man later
> And your buddy now has to work with her instead
> Oh well
> You just hope that you managed to make her life a little bit easier. And hope that they can handle each other. Maybe he'll make her open up a little more than you did
> But that's for later, because now it's time to party! You're a big business trip man now. Travelling across the whole country and all. Hotels, hookers and money. And you don't even have to work tomorrow, woo!
> Hosting a little party at the local cafe, you thought about inviting Twilight, but... eh. Now way in hell she's gonna go. And nobody would really want to see her here. 
> So there's that. Hope she won't be mad about it. Not that if you could tell if she's offended or not. No matter how hard you tried, you can't even imagine her dancing, drinking and having fun at the party.
> Your train of thoughts was interrupted by a cheerful chorus and few bottles of champagne, showering you from above

> It's 8 am. You feel like shit. Finding yourself sprawled at the sofa, still dresses in your partying suit with the awful taste of yesterday's booze in your mouth.
> You tried to look around
> Your apartment is a mess
> And what's that noise?
> Ah, right... new phone.
"Y-ye ? Hullo?"
> You hear a bunch of guffawing hungover hyenas from the other side.
> Are they STILL partying?
> "Woo! Man, you did it! Ha ha, dunno how, but you did it!"
> Apparently
"W-wha, what is it? Didn't we celeb... celebr..."
> You feel a rising lump in your throat, but you suppressed it
> "Aww yeah, man! Congrats again, haha!"
"What are you talking about? You know I'm not the only one who deserve... Twiligh.. is..."
> And you had to lunge from the sofa to say hello to your porcelain friend. Still hearing the uncontrollable laughter from the other side, even if your phone is on the floor in another room
> You wipe your mouth, pick up the phone and turn it on a loud speaker.
"Alright. C-come again. What... uh..."
> "Yo! Ye, man, that shit Twilight, oh, you had to see her!"
> You're still trying to wake up and wrap your head around it. Why do you have to see...
> Oh
> "Oh shit, ha ha! Man..."
"Hey, calm your tits! What about her?"
> "Dude! Now we got her! Like, just as she heard that you're moving, she fucking went nuts!"
"Oh dear..."
> "Started crying her fucking eyes out on a shitter, then sprinted outside! Man!"
"WHAT?!"
