Interview notes taken by Doctor Branstock. I admit that I am a little shaken after the news of Doctor Ailinghoof's death at the hands of my patient, but if anything, the news pushed me to try ever harder to help her mental condition. She recounted her first kill as an assassin to me today, and the look in her eyes as she told me.. Disturbed me greatly. Her indifference to suffering and desire to destroy are upsetting, to say the least. "It was in Manehattan. Dark, rainy night. The mare I was contracted to kill sat on her sofa in the apartment, just watching TV without a care in the world. She had no idea that I'd been watching her routine from a rooftop over the road from her. For a week prior, I'd been watching with a rifle-scope. Waiting, and taking in her daily routine. I'd brought enough supplies to be able to stay on that rooftop, completely motionless for the most part. She hadn't suspected a thing. And now, while she'd been out to visit her friend in the apartment precisely 3 floors down - smiling brightly as the stallion let her in, taking a cup of coffee at around noon, and then fumbling with the door as she left - I had entered her apartment via the window, closed it again, and stationed myself in the wardrobe opposite her bed. I stood there for approximately two and a half hours before she washed up, brushed her teeth, muttered something about the broken bathroom lightbulb, and got into bed. Another two hours, and she was fast asleep. She looked so peaceful there, snoring ever so softly, her eyes fluttering beneath their thin, protective lids. I stabbed her in the throat."
