Chapter 1: Me and my work

I'm Sofia

An employee of the second cloud layer. Since I was little, my mother told me that there are two worlds in the world, charged clouds and white clouds. People in my world often call their world Black Sheep. My world is divided into three layers, and the job of the second level is to judge the souls of the first level.

I have always been curious about the world around me. That trait has followed me since I was a child, so living on the second floor always makes me feel suffocated, constrained by repetitive tasks that make me unable to find reasons to love it.

Between the floors are high gates that are strictly guarded, making people on our floors feel like they are locked up.

Maybe that's why I dream of stepping up to the third floor. The desire to enjoy the bright sunlight gradually made me become an ambitious, greedy and selfish person.

A new day has come…

I woke up to piles of documents in my room. No sun, no wind, no birds singing, I woke up when there was a knock on the door.

-Sofia, Sofia, hurry up tomorrow morning.

- I know, come down now.

Meetings are usually held every working day. I tied my hair back and walked to the meeting room located at the top of the tower.

The working buildings are built in the shape of an arc, in the middle is the main center, which is made palatial and monumental. The rows of vertical trees outside are also fixed, similar to carvings. The main working building is like a tube, the floors are like rings of cakes stacked on top of each other.

The golden color of the reception floor, the white of the handover floor, the black color of the judgment floor, and I work on the brown floor, the coveted work floor. My job is just to judge the sins of souls. It is quite leisurely because it only requires arranging and giving documents according to the names of the spirits. However, many times I still get confused and cause a lot of trouble, so I become extremely perfectionist.

-Sister Sofia, wait for me!-A shrill voice made me startled.

I didn't give Sola too much work, I just needed to deliver the documents to the judgment floor not more than a flight of stairs away. The work is so much that running back and forth makes her tired and I also feel dizzy because of her.

Sola's bold decision made me the main character of the meeting today when she lost the documents. She dared to take a fruit basket and tie it with a string and drop it downstairs. But maybe at that time she was so focused on the drop that she didn't pay attention to the wind blowing the documents away.

Yes, and I will take full responsibility. Because of that, I've been exhausted since night time and can't wake up on my own in the morning. I still find it difficult to understand how she can be so carefree and grinning like that. Sola ran over and wrapped herself tightly around me
