#she just kinda glazed over it like 'eh unimportant. im busy. i have other things to do'

Things were busy.

Well, when weren’t they?

As Amiya signed her name on yet another legal document, officiating a new Operator known elusively as ‘Phantom’ unto Rhodes Island’s ranks, she could hear the hustle and bustle of people around her as she worked. She had long grown used to the noise, and it didn’t bother her at all. 

Rhodes Island was always busy. There was no reason for it to be especially busy today, nor any other day. Tomorrow, Today, Yesterday...there was no real significance.

The sun began to set as she set about putting away the documents, when she realised that she had missed one part. As she sometimes pulls all-nighters, she waits until it’s all done to fill in the last part: The Date.

She pulled her pen back out of her pocket, sliding the papers back across the desk toward her. The pen clicked, orange light of the sunset illuminating the office. What was it, anyway? The Date?

Ah, today was...

The cautus quickly scribbles the numbers in, nodding her head as she once more placed the papers away. 

‘That should do for today.’ She thought to herself, wincing a little as she stretched her arms above her head. She really did need to stop slouching at her desk...

Amiya stands up, picking up a small brief case, and heads calmly to the archive department to store these records, that everyday hustle and bustle still going strong this late into the evening, just like every other day...there was nothing special about it, no matter how one looked at it.

Tomorrow would be the same as Today- from an importance stand point, every day should be treated more or less the same. With exception to certain holidays, of course.

Today, December 24th, was exactly as important as Yesterday.

December 23rd. Just another day checked off.
