"What would make you happy right now?" he asked quietly. "Do you want to return to Italy?"

"I never said that it was fair. I never said that because you have worked elsewhere doesn't mean you haven't worked hard. You did an amazing job there and will here as well." He wanted to tell her that she shouldn't look at it as a failure but as something to keep striving towards again. He remembered a few years back when she'd run for minister and that had broken her. Now she was taking the step to return to the ministry and they just kept trying to hold her back. "I'm not telling you and would never tell you you haven't worked hard. Because you have."
"I want my job back, I want my old department and I want our house back and I just... I hate it here." The tears started to fall, though she was getting more and more angry with herself. "I want to be happy with my job and the way I live... I don't want to be held back by people who keep telling me I'm not good enough because I've had that for so long and I'm tired of it!" There. She hadn't said she wanted to return, but she did want a slightly similar life to what she'd had!

"Don't patronise me! I'm so tired of being told I'm not good enough and it's not okay! I've worked hard and I've made my own path through this world, but people don't like it. I'm not good enough to be Minister, I'm not good enough to be in MLE and I'm not good enough to get a better job than obliviator!" she let out a frustrated noise and then looked down at the bag she had. Taking out the Ministry goods, she shoved them toward Gid and shook her head. "I'm so tired of this. I came here to show my face and now I have. Now I'm going home. Enjoy your night." Her makeup was all smudged now and she was tired of being made to feel unworthy.
