Every single day, I sift through my papers, looking for a certain file, to remind me what I live for. What I speak for. What I breathe for. These papers contain information on people: their name, age, where they live, marital status, all the lot. I know an inch of people's lives by looking through these files. Every single day, these people pay me to twist facts and manipulate the representation of truths to suit their case. To be honest, everything in context has its own truth. So whoever tells the story the best, wins.
That's what I do whenever I'm wearing my lovely work suit, a briefcase in hand, a laptop tucked under the other arm. I wake up in the morning of my condominium unit to phone calls and left messages in my answering machine. My PDA is also bombarded with contact info and meeting schedules. Yes, these people need me to lie for their protection. Every single day.
But every single day, whether I am on-duty or off-duty in my work, I sift through these papers, looking for that certain file. A file that I could never forget. This person I had known a long time ago, and although I never talked to him, we are destined for each other. You see, it started when I accidentally found his file on my doorstep. I read about a wonderfully mysterious and attractive manisfestation of a human being being enclosed in an asylum. It was him. Saint Joseph's Asylum for Wayward Souls. It had been my mission, my calling, it had been fate that I meet him again. This was the letter I had given to him before I headed to court to appeal for him:
Now that I heard that he was released, I have a new mission. Not to gather information of him, not to know where he is or where he sleeps. But to have him.
Every single day, I sift through these papers, looking for his file, to once again remind me what I steadfastly stand up for. What I sincerely smile for. And what I dedicate every moment of my life to. Soon enough... I will find you, Faustus~ <3
With this last thought circling my head, I placed these precious papers back into my briefcase, closed the laptop that rested on my lap, and flicked my hair against the sun. I was off-duty today.

You will be out of here soon, Mr. Faustus D. Ankari. I shall be representing you in court while you are patiently waiting your release. Society's eyes will be open to your potential and thusly, I have come to terms with the fact that you do not belong here. Don't be afraid. I shall protect you in every meaning of the word.[/color] ♥[/i][/blockquote]
Once you are free from this grief-stricken place, we might not see each other again as a lawyer-and-client. But I shall find you again and see for myself what you have become in my heart and mind.
Now that I heard that he was released, I have a new mission. Not to gather information of him, not to know where he is or where he sleeps. But to have him.
