'White-hot death
An infomorph rises
Devoid of my own blood'
- Katsuhiro Kyo, 'Mother's Grief' - Achur Historical Archives
---
One of the promenade doors of House Shandrasekkar in Starlight Villa opened wide, revealing voices going louder and louder. The heavy rain washed everything away - colors, forms, and angry voices.
'So, instead of learning from your fear and in consequence grow into a better citizen, a better human being, you prefer to dwell on your self-indulgence and doubt the State? Preposterous! Childish! If you're an almighty podpilot now, it's because the State provided it!' His face was red with anger.
A secretary closed the doors behind them.
'Don't you dare to patronize me, father! I'm not your little daughter anymore, nor is the State a benefactor. He's a consumer, like you or myself. It was meant to exist in a form of mutual simbiosis with its people.' She was decided to make her point this time.
He stared at the young girl in from of him, the skin perfect, devoid of scars and bruises. He couldn't find the thin scar near her left eyebrow, the painful result of her fall from a training apparatus when she was 12. 'Though your face is charming, it's the wrong face ', he thought, and that thought alone made his heart ache - with sadness, with loneliness, with the realization that the family he made by himself was completely gone.
She continued, relentlessly. 'Every time i defend a State that ignores its own people, i feel like i'm propagating lies. One could actually expect me to uphold whatever position the CEP tells me to, since i'm a blind nationalist, right? WRONG! I was raised to feel like the State was a substantial part of my life, and it IS. But for what? Just to maintain the Status Quo? It's rotten, father, and you know that. Kassigainen IV wouldn't happen, in any circunstances, if the State actually cared for its people.'
He said nothing; just kept staring at her face.
'You're not exactly wrong when you say i'm a traitor to the State, then. It's out of pure concern for my own people that i say this. 'The necessities of many surpasses the needs of one', Isn't that the motto? Wasn't i raised to uphold the Caldari values? So allow me to say this: The people is the only value we have, and the State is wasting it.'
'You're not my child. You're almost a machine,' he stated. His face was torn with grief. Did a solitary tear rolled down? She couldn't possibly know; the rain would've washed it away.
'Hell, no. See this body? your daughter died defending the State. And i'm almost glad it happened, for it opened my eyes.' She turned on her heels, and walked aways from her father, from Starlight Villa.
Did she cried?
Only the heavy rain knows.

Me likey content, specifically the quote at the top. You need to go through and take a look at tense usage. That's the most obvious error. Good work.
Ah, sorry for my broken Engrish. Still trying to get a proper grasp of it... feel free to point out the mistakes, and thanks. =)
