"I have seen your architecture in your various cities. It is both functional and artistic at the same time, I believe you would be well suited to the task."

In actuality, Cytus had very little experience in architecture of buildings that weren't constrained to the underground...or in ice. On Earth, the notion of building underground even in places like Antarctica was a rarity, and when people did it, they did so using practices that would seem downright dangerous on Aridia.

Despite rules about asking about people about certain taboo subjects, Cytus often enjoyed the questions, and did not hesitate to tell people about what had happened to her and her species. An operator was supposed to make sure that the species didn't die out, or at the very least, would be remembered when they did.

"My home planet was destroyed by a supernova. A small group of us escaped 2 years before the event happened, so I do not know if anyone is still alive, for now I must assume they are not."

If she could smile however, Cytus certainly would at this point.

"I will learn to be useful. It will come in time, as will yours. I must leave to return to the front desk since many are still ill. You may come visit if you wish. I would enjoy the company."

Pham Thi Anh Sang

Cytus's short story was surprisingly awful and depressing. Anh Sang didn't know what she had expected -bad, yes, but not terrible horrible bad. If she was feeling awkward before, now she was feeling it even more so. But Cytus herself, she seemed like she was okay, so that meant that everything was okay, right? Because Anh Sang didn't know how to deal with that, she just moved on as the other student did.

"I'll definitely come and see you later!" she told Cytus earnestly. "I just, kind of need to see if the hospital will let me see Ha Jung yet." Maybe it was weird for a student to be checking up on a staff member so much but she couldn't help but feel a little responsible for him these days. In her mind, she was still making up for that incident weeks ago. "But I'll definitely come later!"

Somebody probably should have told Anh Sang that kids shouldn't have to take care of adults but since she never put it in those exact words and nobody said anything, she kept on with it.
