Stella remained tense the whole time they were in the government building. She only let out a sigh of relief once they were out in the open world again.
Somehow, Stella could not feel like a huge burden had been lifted after all this time. It helped her feel more relaxed and accomplished to be out of the government than to be in it.
"Ugh, thousand years of service and I fumbled it in a second. But then again, these people made me so mad that I had to quit. This is not the government I had joined at the start."
Stella was not one to complain about such things. But she could not keep her frustration in check this time. She had to let out all the words she had been keeping inside.
She was not sure how much Yoko would understand her, but Stella had to hope to gain a little sympathy from her side.
