Ada watched her. "What if going home doesn't make anything better?" she asked
"The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." -Karis Nemik
Ky took a deep breath, then let it out in a quiet sigh. "I don't know... I don't know what can be done at all. I just assumed distance..."
(I got a parking ticket trial letter and IRS letter in the mail today and lemme tell you I should have left the mailbox closed I'm so stressed ;-; )

(I’m just exhausted haha they decided to yank me from night shift to day shift today so my circadian rhythm is all off and I only slept like 5 hours and I don’t understand and of this. Best guess is the government is fucking me out of $400 — but I’m too tired to actually process)
“I don’t know,” Ky admitted. “I didn’t know Seers existed until I met you. I don’t know how any of this works.”

(Adulting sounds like shit, come back to being an undergrad.)
"I guess we'll find out. But I know I'd rather be with my mama and sister than with a bunch of white noblemen who think they know everything."

(Pls ;-; I legitimately don’t understand any of this bullshit or how I’m supposed to survive I have like 0 dollars and lots of bills and they just keep getting worse and worse I dislike this immensely. I wish I would have worked a bullshit job January and February to save up more money this is a massive mistake. I just… idk. I know you can’t fix this lol I’m just so confused and beat down. I feel like this really doesn’t need to be this way)
“Understandable.” Ky nodded. “This… does not seem like a fun place to weather all this out. I don’t blame you for wanting to go home.”

"I hope they're alright. That nobody's come for them since I've been gone." She drew her arms tightly around herself.

(Haha you’ll be okay. It’s just… ugh. I just want to survive comfortably. It’s not like I’m asking for cruises and all inclusive resorts. I just want to be able to buy groceries without checking my bank account. And I’ve been having to use my credit cards and so my credit score tanked??? I’m not even late on any payments???? I just used like 80% of my credit limit on a single card and they’re like bad!!! If you split that between two cards you’re Gucci. But it’s big bad to use the same card? I—???)
“I hope so, too,” Ky agreed gently. “They’re likely okay. You’re warriors after all.”

She nodded. "We are. That will help. But they caught us unawares last time."

(Ngl contemplating a second job… I need to do some math once my brain works better. But like. Dunno. Guess I get to partake in the millennial passage of rites… I’ve picked up like 50+ hours before but that’s been a very long time ago and never had two jobs at once. But. Well.)
“But their guards will be raised now,” Ky pointed out. “Extra wary and alert.”

(Mental health is important though. Make sure you're resting and taking time for yourself!)
"Absolutely." She glanced at Ky. "You should come with me."

(yeahhh... oh well. It'll be okay. Or it won't. Whatever. Thanks for letting me vent lol I'm done now)
Ky took a deep breath then let it out and shook her head. "I can't."

"Why not? You have nothing keeping you here but a promise made by a noble, plus Tadaaki and his family."

"A noble I l- care for," Ky corrected. "I can't just turn my back on my family."

"Did you ask him for any of this?" Ada asked, brow furrowed. "Isn't he the reason you're trapped here now?"
(Well-meaning devil on her shoulder)
