Rika had not been assigned a desk or chair, but that was fine. She was used to standing up and walking around anyway.
Not being tethered to an assigned place to sit, Rika enjoyed the freedom to choose her spot. Her independence was a source of strength, even when others tried to question her choices.
The office workers glared at Rika every time she tried to sit down, and they called her for the most annoying things. She was being made to do everything from fetching water to just standing and walking.
Rika was sure that she was being bullied right now, but since this was not physically abusive, she did not see a point in telling her mother about it or even reporting it.
Lunch break arrived in the blink of an eye, and the annoying staff finally left.
Rika finally sat down and helped her aching legs heal by spreading her body out and relaxing.
