"I am graduating this week. Will you be able to come?" Gray did not sound excited.
"Congratulations. I will try to come but I can't promise anything." Char knew she would not be able to attend the ceremony, not even in the virtual form because of the workload. Even if she tries to reach there, the energy usage will cause her to end the day's works unfinished. The Society cannot give any of its M.I.D. energy supplements. So she will starve if she does the extra work.
Even though she was genetically prepared for the work, the process of DNA copying can give rise to variations and that may change the functioning, capacities and index of energy utilization. Even though she passed the graduation ceremony, there were still some of her DNA files that were yet to be examined and results to be published. It had been her secret anxiety from the day she left the School. She could not face the humiliation that she and her so-called family would face if something goes wrong with her hereditary expression according to the results. Even though she had no memory of personally meeting her parents, she just like any other child in the Colony had been trained to respect their parents and 'nearest and dearest'.
