It is to my advantage, that S. sleeps late. I will now proceed with the protocol of our first meeting after a long time. Until the main dish was served, we chatted about minor matters which was followed by a tense silence for several minutes. S. wore a flowered blouse, far too tight bluejeans and grey sneakers. Then, having a mousse au chocolat lying in front of her, S. broke out in tears and begged me to move back in with her. This was garnished with excuses and some reproaches. I managed to act reluctantly even if I welcomed her change of mind. My investigation had been interrupted by that unfortunate incident and now I was offered a chance to bring the case to a closure.
A briefing of S.:
- Born in a shopkeeper's family.
- Grew up in a household with a difficult mother, gentle but weak and passive father and senile grandfather who had died in her early childhood.
- Due to her upbringing and several shocking experiences, she was filled with insecurity, physical self-disgust and developed a choleric character.
- Only younger sister ran away from home at the age of 14. She wasn't heard of since then.
- Spent most of her teenage years in a boarding school for girls where she spent the happiest days of her life.
- Left school at the age of 16 to do an apprenticeship at a shoe shop.
- All in all, S. has led an uneventful, simple life.
