"content": "I get to visit a museum, an exhibition featuring brand-new pieces of art every single day. All that for a bit of physical labor."

"id": 2,
"content": "No, no. I'm not expecting an answer. I don't think anyone else would care to look at this writing, either."

"id": 4,
"content": "There wasn't anything special that drew me to join this company. I didn't find it very exciting, either."
},
{
"id": 5,
"content": "When I was offered this Cleanup Agent job, I considered it no different from my usual contracts, except that I'll be guaranteed a fixed income."
},
{
"id": 6,
"content": "I thought 'of course, a corporation of this size, a Wing at that, must have stuff to \"clean up\" here and there'."
},
{
"id": 7,
"content": "I didn't care about what they did, as long as they didn't annoy me. So I signed the contract."

{
"id": 11,
"content": "While I was impressed with how well they were hiding this truth from the public... three words came to mind."

"id": 13,
"content": "In hindsight, I was so absorbed with chasing after and creating my own \"art\"..."
},
{
"id": 14,
"content": "...That I neglected to appreciate the \"art\" of others."
},
{
"id": 15,
"content": "A shameful realization. Appreciating others' art expands and deepens your understanding of this act of creation, regardless of its genre."
},

"content": "It doesn't qualify even as a performance art, as there was no intent to create the 'art' behind it."
},
{
"id": 22,
"content": "Shambling without intent is... in the end, insufficient to be called art. It is incomplete at best."

"id": 23,
"content": "I butcher them. Because the company ordered me to make them easier to clean up."
},
{
"id": 24,
"content": "To interfere with the process of involuntary art isn't to my liking, no... But that doesn't happen very often. Besides, there is plenty to be gained from the rest."
},
{
"id": 25,
"content": "I enjoyed the company issued gear, too."

},
{
"id": 30,
"content": "I would have even foregone sleep to do so."
},
{
"id": 31,
"content": "Shit... What are the higher—ups thinking? It's ludicrous, making me babysit these rookies..."
},
{
"id": 32,
"content": "Hmph, look at that guy over there, blabbering on and on. Maybe he enjoys this kind of humdrum work."
},
{
"id": 33,
"content": "What an oddity. How does he find this interesting in any capacity when solid gold rolls into the station every single day?"
},
