Scales for weighing the sins of the dead

This was Sandra's third life. In her first life, she was Lee Yu Mi, a beauty from a large Korean city. In her second life, her name was Olivia. Olivia's mother, as you understand, was Anna. Now, in her third life, Sandra, like a moth to a flame, came to the place where she could get answers to the riddles that remained in her past lives. Until Sandra got a job as an assistant manager, everything was fine with her. Personalities from her previous lives took over her only in a dream. But even this was enough for Sandra to feel overwhelmed, tired and not getting enough sleep in the morning. However, if it were not for the cataclysm that happened in the customs palace on the Sanzu River, most likely the personalities from past lives would hardly have manifested themselves and taken over Sandra. Although... Anything is possible. Maybe Sandra was destined to face her past one on one one day.
Now Sandra was calm. The ghost woman issue was settled for a while and Sandra was pleased with herself. Lady Anna was escorted to the hotel, the Black Reaper went about his business, the customs officer and the manager talked briefly about something and also left. Sandra and Eo had a separate office. Returning to it, the girl and the young man immediately went deep into their work.
And for Sandra, as soon as she started working, the whole world ceased to exist, which could not be said about the second assistant manager. Eo couldn't concentrate today. The thought that his beloved Li Yu Mi was so close and yet so far tormented the young man and did not give him the opportunity to delve into the work, which by the way had accumulated a lot. Finally, even Sandra noticed that Eo was sitting and doing nothing. From the moment Sandra learned that there were two other personalities in her, and one of them was Eo's former lover, the ease in talking with the young man disappeared. However, today Sandra decided to overpower herself and asked Eo a question.
-What's happened? Are you unable to complete this table? Can help you?
-No. Everything is fine. The truth is, my numbers don't add up. One document says that 9 million people passed through the Sanzu River Bridge in January, and another document states that 8 million 999 thousand.
-And what? Call the statistics department and check! This is problem?
-No. It's not a problem. The problem is elsewhere...
-In what?
- Well, how should I say... We are colleagues, and I hope that we will work together for a long time!
-Yes, I hope so! But what is the problem then?
- You, Sandra, for some reason avoid me! And I would not want to have such a relationship between us! We are colleagues!
“Eo, I don’t want to offend you, but you understand… The situation that has developed is rather unusual. These are my personalities... Oh, sorry, the bell! I need an urgent answer!
After the call, it turned out that Eo and Sandra urgently needed to visit one of the customs officers at home. The customs officer, it was a girl, didn't show up for work today. She did not answer calls. When Sandra and Eo approached the house where the customs girl lived, they immediately did not like the color of the frame on the windows. In all the houses, the color of the frames was the same - white, and only in this house the window frames were red. The color did not please, but disturbed!
The door was not locked. The customs girl didn't react when the manager's assistants entered the house.
She sat on the bed and looked at one point. Sandra followed the girl's gaze, but there was nothing on the wall where the girl was staring so intently. In front of the manager's assistants was an ordinary white wall.
- Katya, can you hear me? - Sandra touched the girl's shoulder, - What's wrong with you? Can I call a doctor from the medical sector?
However, the customs girl just shook her head.
Sandra looked at Eo, but he just shrugged.
However, Sandra was not used to backing down, she firmly knew that if there is a problem, then it needs to be solved.
“Katya,” she turned to the girl again, “you must tell me what happened to you? I, Sandra, the first assistant manager, next to me is Eo, the second assistant manager. We can't leave until we figure out what happened to you. If something serious happened to you, then we need to know how to help you. Please don't be silent!
“These evil old men,” the girl began to say, and suddenly burst into tears, “they told me that!” They cursed me and my future lives!
- Wait, Katya, - Eo entered the conversation, - Please explain calmly, who are these evil old people and what did they tell you?
- I... - the customs girl swallowed, but the lump in her throat still prevented her from speaking, - I work here, at the customs post, not very long ago. Just six months. When the disasters on the Sanzu River began, I suddenly remembered that I was not a very good person in life. This is probably why, when the question arose of where to go after death, there was a slight hitch. On the one hand, I led a far from righteous life, and on the other hand, I did nothing wrong to anyone. Therefore, it was suggested to me that while my matter was resolved, I would work for some time here at the customs palace for the dead by the Sanzu River. I agreed.My position is not very high. And the work is very simple. I work as an escort. However, I had no choice when I put my finger on the contract. In fact, I would like to accompany people who have left earthly life only to the bridge or to a special boat, but I still have to accompany people to the old man and old woman. As you know, these disgusting old man and old woman take off the shirts of dead people to weigh their sins, put them on the scales. The Customs Palace's computer does the job perfectly on its own, without any weighing of the shirts. As soon as the deceased person takes the first steps in the customs palace, the computer already then gives a complete analysis. The second stage is when the deceased person, or rather his soul, comes to the customs booth. At this moment, the computer rechecks the data, analyzes it again, and gives the exact direction to the deceased person. The work of an old man and an old woman is rather a relic. But for some reason this couple considers themselves irreplaceable. The old man and the old woman consider themselves the ultimate truth. That day I accompanied two twins. They were three-year-old girls. The little ones were scared and held hands. In fact, according to the rules, it is not supposed to accompany two people at once. But the girls flatly refused to go to the old man and the old woman separately. By the time we got there, the computer had already issued a ticket. As expected, the children did not have time to sin, and after weighing, I had to accompany them to the boat. So I considered the visit to the old man and the old woman only a formality. However, what was my surprise when, after weighing the girls' shirts, the old man and the old woman pressed the red button. This meant, as you know, that the children were to be dragged to their lair by the dragons. I objected. I showed the old man and the old woman the coupon that the computer had given out. And she told them that a boat was waiting for the children at the pier. The old man turned purple, and the old woman began to scold. At this time, the crest of a dragon appeared from the water. I got excited. Hiding the girls behind my back, I told the old people that I would not give them to the dragon. The girls started crying. Suddenly the old woman pointed her finger at me, and then said that since I behave like this, dragons are not for girls, but for me. As soon as my internship in the customs palace is over, and it's time to weigh my shirt again, I will be punished and the dragons will tear piece by piece from my soul for ages. My head went haywire after these words, I wanted to be rude to the old people, but fortunately I restrained myself. Turning around, I took the girls with me, and curses and promises flew after me that the next weighing of my shirt would definitely lead me to the lair of dragons. I took the girls to the boat, the boat set sail and the girls waved at me for a long time. Probably now their souls have already been reborn, but I cannot calm down. As soon as I think about the fact that I have to go to work, my legs give way, and the angry voices of the old man and the old woman begin to sound in my ears.
- Katya, - after a short pause, Sandra spoke again, - I want you to calm down. I listened to your version of what happened, but in order to get a complete picture, as you understand, I need to listen to the other side of the conflict. In the meantime, I'll go back to my office and re-enter your details into the computer. This is necessary in order to redirect you to another corridor. Now you will accompany people on other routes. After that, I will meet with the old people, this is necessary in order to collect complete information for the conflict commission, which will make its decision. Now I suggest you take a break, tomorrow morning you will receive information on your phone about exactly where the computer will direct you.
After the customs girl calmed down, Sandra and Eo left her house. Sandra had been sitting in her office for a long time, in front of the computer, but the story of the customs girl did not leave her head. After the computer confirmed that Katya's transfer request had been agreed and approved, Sandra suggested that Eo go to the customs palace after lunch break to hear the old people's version of the conflict with Katya.
The young man of course agreed. Thanks to the interview, all the employees of the customs palace knew Sandra by sight and smiled at her as she walked in the direction of the river. No signs of trouble. Eo was saying something quietly to Sandra, when he suddenly found that she was not listening to him. The girl's gaze was directed at two elderly people who were sitting on the river bank. The closer the boy and girl came to the old people, the more tense Sandra's face became. She seemed to be trying to remember something. Eo touched Sandra's hand.
- What's the matter? Is there something wrong?
- No, - Sandra looked away from the old people, - I'm probably still under the impression of Katya's story, and it suddenly seemed to me ... However, it's all empty. I need to calm down, I'm at work, and I must behave accordingly. I definitely need to listen to the other side of the conflict.
Eo nodded. And now this moment has come, the assistants of the manager have reached the place where the old man and the old woman have been sitting for several centuries. Not far from here stood a small wooden house, it was in it, aftere work, this couple was resting.
Eo started the conversation first
-Hello! We are assistant managers. Our visit today is...
Eo did not have time to finish because Sandra, or rather, her second incarnation, suddenly took over and immediately flew off the coils
-Are you grandparents? Hateful couple! Remember me? I'm your granddaughter Olivia! You killed my mother! You destroyed my life! How dare you sit here and judge who lives and who doesn't? You sinners! Damn you!
Suddenly, Olivia grabbed something sharp from her bag and stuck it in the old woman's eye.
-Get it! This is for my mother, Anna!
 Then she went up to the old man and pushed him into the water.
-This is for me! And my ruined life!
 The old man floundered and tried to get up, but the girl walked towards him. Then she called out to Eo
-Press the red button!
However, the stunned young man shook his head.
“Well,” the girl laughed, “then I’ll do it myself!”
Jumping out of the water, she ran to the red button, fortunately, Eo came to his senses at that moment and did not let the girl make another rash act.
