Chapter 44: Life carries on and on

SUMMARY: My son, Cicero Paon, faces problems at school and the Social Service threats to take him away from the household. My oldest brother, Renzo Paon, retrieves to his bedroom after his fiancée’s death. My twin sister, Clara Paon, and her husband, Wilson Keaton, are expecting their first child.
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————

January has been a productive month to the Paon family. Despite the tragedies – or maybe because of them, having everyone turned to work to deal with Sam Sekemoto and Florette Tolliver losses – that took place on our household during the last weeks of past year, everyone has been receiving the so longed for recognition at their respective workplaces. I, Antonia Paon, finally got my Flight officer insignia. Right now I serve side by side with Angelica Page, being her navigator: I advise her while en route and make sure obstacles and hazards are avoided during the missions. My abilities have also attracted the attention of Sunset Valley Police Department and of Landgraab Industries Science Facility. I received – and declined – job openings on both places. Tomas Paon is now working as an Useless contraption manipulator and makes 63 simoleons per hour. It’s still far from his lifetime goal, but he’s on his way.

Renzo Paon has also been promoted. After watching the chess legend Argyle Sinclair at Divisadero Budget Books, he got a mood boost and caught the eyes of his manager, being promoted to a Book genre sorter. He’s been working at the bookstore since his teenager years. The part-time job sustained his humble shopping needs – mainly CDs, books and PC games – as well as served as a always up-to-date library, but was never taken took seriously. Renzo judged it as just a temporary arrangement until he made into the spotlights as a Professional author. But since he’s writer’s ambitions have been shaken after his fianceé, Florette Tolliver, death, such achievement came in quite handy and in quite a particular delicate moment.

Renzo has been spending much more time inside. He was never an outdoorsy type, but things got worse recently and he’s frequently locked up in his room weeping and reading drama novels. He has also called Llama Books and asked them not to advertise “The Riverview follies”: he argued he couldn’t handle any press exposure for this time being and especially not anyone caused by a book to which Florette contributed.

SUMMARY: Sam Sekemoto passes away. Renzo Paon also looses his fiancée, the handy-woman Florette Tolliver.
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Aiming to show the rebuilt of the Paon estate and celebrate Renzo’s engagement to Florette Tolliver, I, squad leader Antonia Paon, had a New Year’s Eve party planned. But unexpected events forced me to cancel it: on 30th December, 5 p.m, I received a call from Sacred Spleen Memorial Hospital informing about my half-brother Sam Sekemoto’s death (Evidence A: Sam’s memorial at The Daily Sim). A former band’s colleague dropped by his house for a visit and found him unresponsive on his living room sofa. It seems he had a peaceful passing away while sleeping.

I broke the news to my oldest brother Renzo Paon and headed to the hospital to run the papers for Sam’s burial. Meanwhile, Renzo called his fiancée, the handy-woman Florette Tolliver, to help him with the needed calls to cancel the New Year’s Eve party. By the time I got back home, I got a huge shock: Florette had also passed away.

Hello again, dear sister.

First I must say I couldn’t be more surprised – or pleased – with your latest news! Oh, living in a house designed by a renowned architect… this is not only a dream of mine, but a dream of our beloved mother. She will be so happy when she sees we have the most beautiful house on Summer Hill! And before you say anything: I’m not loosing it. I admit I am a bit stressed, but that’s all. Our parents REALLY are visiting the house. I see them all the time! How can I not refer to them in the present tense if they’re once again among us? The night before I left to Al Simhara, for example, I was watching the news on TV and daddy was right behind me. I swear!
