I squint, thinking about how to best describe how politics are here in Darrow. I don't think it's tedium. If it was just tedium, I would do so well. You know, I've been studying the American tax code in and out, so well that I could definitely have my own tax accounting business. My biggest passion is knowing how a machine works and then making it run better.
"Not that... I guess I shouldn't say that it's the paperwork itself that bothers me," I admit with a wave of my hand. "It's the fact that so much of it doesn't lead anywhere. I thought being in this office would get me more answers. Sometimes it does. But never for the important stuff, you know?"
I lean back in my chair, letting it support my weight before I blow on the surface of my coffee and take a slight sip. Ah, scalding hot.
"I just want to have a research team that's constantly looking into how the city works, and I want them to brief me, and I want them to explain to me where stupid things like those crazy machine Easter eggs came from. But can I get that? No. And no one tells me why not, they just say that's not how things work here."
