Jennifer Haze Does Not Exist

[Mel Rose]

5:00am

It felt like she managed to sleep for a little bit. Actually sleep, without any unwelcome thoughts invading her mind. She had heard it said that meditation is not for everyone. Here, it was not like she had any choice in the matter.

But she woke up with a seed of a plan to finally put the thankless life of killing people for money behind her.

She stood up from the bed and walked up to the window.

Jennifer Haze was a facade. There was a person behind that face, but the cold, hard assassin was not who she really was. She had lived a tough life, there was no question about that, but maybe there was room to learn for her and teach others about it.

There was nothing to do in New Tokyo. There is no space for self-made people in Kusari. She had to go back to Liberty and she had a plan to put in place to ensure that it would work. She would need help from her friends there, of course... But at the end of the day, it was just something that she had to go through with.

It would take a while, she had to set her affairs in Kusari in order, the only place with civilisation in Sirius that did not outright hate her.

But Jennifer Haze was a person whom she wanted to leave behind. She had to reinvent herself. Drop the mask, leave it alone.

Jennifer Haze is not real. Jennifer Haze does not exist.
