Summary:
“Have you met the nations before? You know, apart from our neighbors?”
“As the Grand Duchy of Hesse, yes, but as a federate state of Germany, no.”
The year is 1991. One year after the reunification of Germany. Two years after the fall of the Berlin Wall. When West and East Germany are unable to attend the world summit in Strasbourg, it is up to their most trusted federate states to represent them. But what starts out as a great opportunity to meet the nations for some, eventually ends as a nightmare for all. One that is far from short-lived, because when Ludwig and Gilbert remain missing, their loved ones are quick to discover that the reunification of the two sides of Germany isn’t what Wolfgang made believe.
Meanwhile, Italy and Canada have to question the friendship they share with the German brothers. How does Feliciano cope with the aftermath of "Buon San Valentino" as well as Germany’s states, whose approval he should now seek? And how will Matthew know what a seemingly innocent kiss between two forgotten souls means?

Unoriginal thought of the day, a first words leverage ot3 soulmate au is especially fascinating when you think that the non-Nate crew all technically met for the first time during the roshamon job. So you've got an absolute cocktail of reasons that they wouldn't notice, or wouldn't do anything about, meeting their soulmates because they're all working. It would only be in hindsight that they would realize and try to piece it together and as we see their memory is fallible. Not to mention you've got three criminals assuming they're soumates with civilians, even if they did remember fresh off the job, it would be a liability. Then years later and you're sitting in a bar with people you connect with on a level you've never connected with anybody before; talking about the one job that got botched and listening to everyone speak, hearing these familiar moments, you realize that they were there to. How would they react, how closely to the chest do you play it when it's your turn to speak or as they're laying their story out for you.

"Hey Kioko, how's the new job?"
I now understand why people advocate so strongly for universal healthcare. Insurance is such bullshit. But aside from that. This is a terrible job.
"It's only been two weeks. What's going on?"
Okay.
So I didn't think this through.
More under because the rant's long
This job I'm at is at a clinic. They're open three and a half days each week, it's typically 30 hours per week. I've got no experience or knowledge of medical terminology and medical computer programs. I admitted this in the interview we had. I was way too over the moon when they IMMEDIATELY HIRED ME AFTER ONE INTERVIEW. Why do I know they immediately hired me? They sent me forms that jobs normally send after someone gets hired. That should have been, you know, two red flags. But again, they wanted me to come in for a work interview, so I thought maybe they wanted my paperwork beforehand so I can do the work interview.
No, I literally missed the signs. I mean, I thought it was weird but I sort of thought they were super eager. And then after that work interview, they asked how soon I could start.
"I want to at least do my two weeks at my other jobs." Since, to be honest, while I hated one of the jobs, the managers at both places have been super kind.
"Can you ask if it's possible to leave earlier?" The doctor asks without hesitation.
Also another thing to say, I don't have a lot of work experience. I've been hired on the spot for one of my other jobs and didn't have a job at the time so I didn't really need to do a two week notice. But a two week notice is a courtesy. And again, while I didn't like the job, I really liked the managers. They have been patient and flexible with me and didn't pressure me to do things I couldn't do. So I felt rushed and slightly offended. But I brushed it off. Maybe they just thought I would be a good fit for the position and really wanted me to start soon.
So I started Tuesday. Realized I had to leave to celebrate my brother's graduation this week. Here was what the doctor did when I told him that I would be gone Friday and the first half of next week:
I have essentially did a speed run of the basics of the tasks I'm supposed to do the four days I've been in so far.
It's not even the end of week 2, mind you, and I haven't done a complete week at this place yet. Sure, the doctor's not expecting me to be an expert, but when I am the only one working at the front desk and I have no experience in the medical field or know how to do insurance claims maybe there should be a lot of training.
There is none. I have been taught way too many things in the span of four work days that takes thirty minutes to explain to me. And then it eats away my time because a new thing arises that the doctor didn't teach me.
He's expecting questions from me. I have so many and he's not available at all times. And I don't know how to tackle a lot of things without asking for help. There is no one available all the time. I am floundering. I'm spending way too much time after closing to figure out what to do by myself.
No one is teaching me how to read insurances. No one is teaching me how to explain to patients why their bill is like this. No one is teaching me how to be good on my own. This is the worst job with training. I'm essentially the face of a clinic who's trying to maintain people's health. And I have to learn "along the way"?
I don't know. I feel that when I'm in charge of looking at someone's expenses for their health, I feel there should be someone that should be training me from the moment I get into the office and the moment I leave.
I told myself I'll give this a chance. I wanted to give myself a year, 6 months at the bare minimum. Now I think I'll give it 3 months.
Oh and they told me my position is "office manager" when I had to tell someone what my position at the clonic is other than being just being an office clerk. Which. Was the job title on Indeed.
