    Foggy Truth

    Today we learned the reason why there was this Armageddon state yesterday.
    In short: There first was a fire in the mainstation. Therefore a tube got stuck in a tunnel. After they got the tube out of there, they had everything clear. Half an hour later they found a dead body on the tracks. It was an homeless man who could have been killed, suicidal or in an accident. No one knows. But it wasn't because of the fire.
    So next time a customer says they think a destination is too dangerous to go to, I'll just tell them this story and conclude "If you want danger, you can take the next train to Frankfurt. Everywhere else, you'll be safer."
    We had an early finish today, so I decided to go and find a bit of grass for Aluna again. I was lucky. In 10min walking distance was a small little bit of no-asphalt, so we made our way there. I took some photos of Aluna on the way, so it took us about 20min to get there. Arriving, she immediately ate something from the grass and I nearly panicked. Who am I to know whether this shitty city has poison laying around in the park. But when I saw a little bunny hopping through the grass, I was 100% safe - it was just the bunny poo she'd eaten. Anyhow, she did smell and tasted the rabbit (poo) but did not see it literally being 5m away from her. Aluna wouldn't become a hunter this lifetime anymore.
    My training group had suggested to meet each other at 7.30pm at the hotels' lobby to get something to eat and so I went back to the hotel. One of my colleagues, Janin, has already gotten herself some pizza and offered to look after Aluna so that I could go eat in piece. I thought it would be a good idea. Once for me, to finally not having to think about someone kicking my dog in the full (and drunken) streets of Frankfurt. And second for Aluna to not be stressed by this environment. So I brought Aluna to Janins room and left her there. I instantly felt this hollow freedom. As if a mother would give her newborn child away for the first time. It's always the same feeling for me. I really don't like being separated from her tbh... But I knew that I could trust Janin and she could care for Aluna and that it would be good. So I decided to enjoy my time with my colleagues and dinner. After about 1,5hrs we were back and I picked up Aluna. As I've actually thought it would be, Aluna was not satisfied with the situation and didn't like me being gone. So her happiness about me coming back was heartwarming as ever. Just because of these little moments of unconditional love that are literally thrown at me, I have to leave her once in a while and come back to find myself embraced with love.
