>You watch Scraps walk down the hall
>You hate seeing the toons worry about you
>Ideally they’re to be carefree, not wound up
>And definitely not thinking about their handler’s personal problems

>In your training you were told they can have stressful lives, and a stressed toon won’t last long at Gardenview
>The handler has to do all they can to help counter that stress, and enrich the lives of their toon
>It kind of defeats the purpose of having a handler if you’re causing them more stress
>You also learned that when a toon develops an antagonistic relationship with a handler, there’s nothing to be done to recover
>The recommended fix is a transfer to another group or department, which you’ve already requested and were denied for
>Besides that, the only other result you’ve seen whilst checking records is termination

>You’re really at a loss for what you can do here, it seems flat out impossible with your problem toon
>She’s purposefully choosing to act out and clearly targeting you
>You really don’t get her, sometimes she’s very sweet and caring
>But other times she’s so unruly
>You can’t tell if she wants you to quit, hates you, or just likes to torment you
>Maybe all of the above, wouldn’t surprise you honestly
>You really aren't sure how much more you can take from her

>What’s worse, no matter what you’ve tried with her nothing changes, it’s the same old story
>She says she’s “sooo sorry” and “will be a good girl from now on, I swear~”, but then a few days later she’s back to her tricks
>Like scaring Boxten, or stealing Finn’s little fish friend, whatever he named the thing
>Because of the situation, you’ve found yourself dreading the job
>Wondering what the point was of coming into work as you were now

>Like the cleaner said, you can barely fulfill your basic duties as a toon handler
