A luncheon of sympathy

The sound of Julian crying and shouting echoed in the room with only moonlight. Jenna stood quietly at the door, not daring to take a step forward.

She was afraid that when she walked in, she would find that this was not Nightmare, but reality.

After a while, Jenna closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and entered the room that was Julian's bedroom, living room, kitchen and Restaurant.

She squatted next to her brother and did not stop him from crying or touch him who was frightened. She just said softly, "We don't have much debt anymore. If we lose our current job, we can still find another one. Don't worry...

"You have enough foundation, there must be other Master willing to accept you...

"What mom wants to see is that you and I can live a better life, instead of blaming ourselves..."

Jenna repeated these words over and over again until Julian collapsed, mentally exhausted, and his body gradually became weak. Past leaned against the wall by the window and fell asleep.

He finally became quiet.

Seeing Pain's brother whose expression gradually relaxed and was no longer so frightened, Jenna breathed out silently, and the tears in his eyes lost their gate and kept dripping down.

After crying silently for a while, she stood up, walked to Julian's bed, picked up the quilt, and gently covered her brother who was sleeping against the wall.

After doing all this, she shuffled back to the room inside, which was the bedroom that belonged to her and her mother Elodie.

Jenna lay down, with Cavern's eyes open, staring blankly at the dim ceiling that reflected a little moonlight.

From time to time, she recalled the words her mother had said in her mind, but she could no longer convince herself.

Perhaps, except for a very few Lucky One, darkness is the main theme of life, and light is just an occasional embellishment.

Jenna suddenly grabbed his mother's pillow and covered his face with it, and his body reacted in various ways like sobbing.

Why, why is it always dark without any light?

When will Sun rise again?

I don't know what time it was, Jenna Slumber fell into drowsiness Past.

She was awakened by the movement outside.

She turned over and sat up, rubbed her swollen eyes, and hurriedly left the room.

What caught her eyes was Julian, who was baking Bread slices.

He no longer had the breakdown and mental disorder he had last night, and was focused on what he was doing.

Jenna's lips moved for a few seconds, but what he finally said was a daily greeting:

"You woke up so early?"

Julian replied slightly dullly, "I didn't have dinner yesterday and woke up from hunger.

"Just wait a moment, the Bread slices will be ready soon."

Seeing his brother's condition, Jenna not only did not relax, but became even more worried.

If Julian is still in the same state of mental breakdown and crying last night, although she will feel uncomfortable, depressed, and *picture*book Despair, she will not be afraid.

She will take her brother to see Franca in a forced manner and ask her to quickly find the real "Psychiatrist" to provide treatment.

Now, she is not sure whether Julian has really recovered, or if it just looks normal on the outside.

If some problems are not solved and remain Accumulation in your mind, they may become fatal when they break out again!

Jenna was very afraid that he would see his brother jump off the building and commit suicide just after he finished breakfast.

She carefully observed Julian for a while and felt that the hysterical collapse was indeed gone, but she probably had not really returned to normal mentally.

When Julian is making breakfast by himself, his movements are quick and his hands and feet are nimble, so there is no problem. However, once he communicates verbally, he becomes dull, dull and slow to respond.

This made Jenna more and more convinced that his brother had suppressed those breakdowns and abnormalities in his heart, along with his thoughts and soul.

Huh... we still have to find the real "Psychiatrist"...Jenna has another layer of fog in front of his eyes.

Not long after, Julian baked the Bread slices, and went to the street vendor to buy a can of fairly fresh Milk.

While Jenna was eating his breakfast indifferently, he pretended to look at his brother casually and said, "I had insomnia last night and was very depressed. I want to see Psychiatrist. You seem to be the same, do you want to come with me?"

Julian took two seconds before replying, "I'm going to find a job."

Jenna Once again, strong sadness emerged from the bottom of his heart.

My brother didn't even question the matter of finding "Psychiatrist".

People living in this neighborhood are not even willing to go to the clinic to see Doctor, let alone visit "Psychiatrist" because of poor mental health.

Most of them don't know that the profession "Psychiatrist" exists, and they don't think they have psychological problems.

Thinking that the real "Psychiatrist" might have to make an appointment, Jenna didn't force it. He thought about it and said in an encouraging tone, "I think you should carefully choose your employer and Master this time. It's normal to not find a job for three to five days. It may take a week or two, or even a month or two."

"By then, both of us will have income, and maybe we can pay off the remaining debt within this year. If I rely on myself alone, it will definitely not work. Underground Singer's income is not stable, and I don't know when I will stop being liked by others."

Jenna On the one hand, it reduces the pressure on his brother in advance to prevent him from being stimulated and collapse again because he cannot find a job in a short period of time. On the other hand, it emphasizes his importance, saying that only his sister cannot support him, making him feel that he is still of great use, relying on responsibility to maintain his will to survive and prevent him from suddenly committing suicide.

Jenna, who had never considered these details before yesterday, has unconsciously thought about similar issues today.

After repeatedly stabilizing Julian's condition, she watched her brother go out to Botanical Garden District's Factory gathering place to look for opportunities.

After resting for a while, Jenna was still a little tired and left Rue Pasteur No. 17, heading towards Rue Saint-Ger which was not far away.

She planned to walk slowly to White Coat Street, and just as Franca got up, she asked her to help make an appointment for the real "Psychiatrist".

As he passed the intersection in a daze, Jenna glanced at Cavern and saw a piece of news published in a newspaper at the newsstand on the side:

"Member of Parliament Hugues Artois emphasized the need to deal with the Goodwell Chemical Factory explosion incident fairly."

Jenna was attracted by those Vocabulary, and walked away Past instinctively, picked up the newspaper, and quickly browsed the news:

"... The newly elected Member of Parliament Hugues Artois believes that the Factory owners cannot be slandered just because of an accident, nor can the Factory owners who provide the country with a large number of jobs and taxes cannot afford even an accident and want to seek bankruptcy, which will lead to a large number of bankruptcies, a large number of unemployment, and bring about a new round of protests and unrest.

"Hugues Artois said that he would not forget the injured and dead in the explosion, and would seek to establish a new public welfare fund to help Factory owners pay part of the accident compensation, so that Factory could continue to operate, and allow those responsible for the accident to use more jobs and taxes to atone for their sins.

"He also said that he would propose a bill at Parliament to create a better environment for entrepreneurs, including making it easier to fire unqualified workers and staff, and providing more reasonable accident compensation..."

Seeing this, Jenna's shoulders suddenly started to shake.

She laughed, her body shaking with laughter, and she didn't stop for a long time.

After a while, she put down the newspaper and moved on.

Unknowingly, Jenna walked to Rue Saint-Ger, and then walked to Goodwell Chemical Factory, which had mostly turned into Ruins.

Looking at the extremely broken metal can, she thought of her mother Elodie again.

Every time she walks into Factory facing that iconic thing.

A few minutes later, Jenna's somewhat blurry vision reflected a face that was unfamiliar yet slightly familiar.

It was a woman wearing old clothes Long Dress. She said to Jenna, "Quick, go to Market Avenue. That Member of Parliament is going to hold a condolence banquet and invite us people to participate. Maybe we can win something!"

"Condolence banquet?" Jenna asked in confusion.

The woman nodded quickly:

"Yes! Wasn't your mother also injured in the explosion? Don't you remember that we met in the ward?

"That Member of Parliament just went to the hospital two-quarters of an hour ago, and there will be a condolence banquet later!"

"Hugues Artois?" Jenna asked subconsciously.

"Yes, yes, that's the name." The woman took Jenna's arm and led her, who was still a little confused, towards Parliament Parliamentarian’s Office of Market Avenue.

More than half an hour later, the two arrived in front of the khaki four-story building.

Many people who looked poor at first sight were queuing up to be inspected and entered the hall.

Jenna is wearing the simple gray-blue Long Dress today, with her hair hanging down naturally without any modification.

She lined up at the back of the queue and moved forward little by little.

Nearly a quarter of an hour passed, and finally it was her turn.

A Women wearing a dark blue uniform checked from her head to her boots.

After confirming that she was not carrying dangerous items, she was asked to register, prove her identity, and then enter Banquet Hall.

Golden Rooster Inn, Room 207.

Lumian looked at Franca who appeared at the door and said with a little surprise, "It's very early today."

Franca is still dressed like Lady’s shirt, light-colored breeches, and red boots, but it is a different outfit.

She said "ha": "Aren't I worried? I'm afraid that you and Jenna may have made a good promise on the surface, but then turn around and assassinate that Member of Parliament Secretary Rhone."

"In your mind, am I such a reckless person?" Lumian asked.

"Yes." Franca answered without any hesitation.

She even wanted to add the word "most" Vocabulary to describe it, but after remembering the "People of Fury" she met in a seaside town before, she felt that Lumian was not enough.

She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since you haven't acted impulsively, there should be no problem at Jenna. I'm going to go see her and see if she needs help at home."

Franca As soon as he finished speaking, a rush of footsteps came up from downstairs and headed straight for this way.

Lumian and Franca, who were standing at the door, looked sideways at Past, and saw Jenna, who was wearing a simple gray-blue Long Dress with disheveled hair, running over anxiously, sobbing and saying, "My brother, my brother is crazy! He has turned into Madman..."
