You've never actually experienced grief, to be honest. It's difficult to say what you're supposed to do when someone tells you they killed the only person of any importance in your life. Your first impulse is, as usual, to look at the news. The ones about executives escaping.
Well, you see, the executives in charge of handling the horrible disaster happening at the chemical plant, they decided to run away from all the angry mobs of corporate security out to get them and extract payment for all of the damage their negligence has caused, and they went and made a gunfight and adventure-rich escape from the corporate HQ, successfully evading death for now. You suppose... well, you don't suppose anything. Right now, you don't really give a shit about those guys, so supposing anything about them is not on your priority list.
Okay, that didn't help much. What else are you supposed to do? You feel like you should do... something, really. Though brutal violence is certainly an option, you find it best not to encourage such awful behavior. Instead, you choose to blubber a bit and process this information in only the way a really emotional person could, which is to say by not really thinking about. But blubbering, while undeniably something you see as something a grieving person would do, doesn't quite capture how you feel. What could... oh, right.
You start screaming in a shrill, incomprehensible fashion about Ms. Bartolucci and her good points, and tears well up in your eyes as you try to drive it into the man in front of you that
you do not just kill nice people like that! It's rather fortunate that you can't seem to properly string a sentence together, as you really can't think of anything good to say about your employer. After all, you only really met her today, and she was rather out of it, you think. You do seem to be making the guy uncomfortable, though, and that makes you feel a tiny bit better. More in control, at least.
"Calm down, lady! You might not see it yet, but this is a great opportunity for you! And for mankind as well!"That's odd, you think he was just asking you to stab him in the eardrum with a dull knife. Repeatedly. It's a strange request, certainly, but you feel you should do it. It's only good manners, after all.
