"That's completely fair. I can't even handle that much."
"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
Sadie chuckled again. “It’s not for everyone, but I love it, within reason. Just tiring. That’s for sure. I easily work sixty, six-five hour weeks. But I still love it.”

"You should be able to set your own hours, I say. That's the perk of running my own business."

"That does sound nice." Sadie inclined her head. "Unfortunately, the school sets the workload. There's not much I can do about it."

(Thanks! Have you seen the mayhem on the People Tab? lol)
"Ah well." She shrugged, offering a small smile. "It is what it is. Worth it."

"I'm sure. Like I said, it's a good thing younger people are coming into town, even if your lot won't stay long. Get those kids a good education before they go down to the mines."

(Introducing Account Verification It assigned me Chris Pratt... only works on the People Tab, but I'm leaning into it xD and also it's easy to tell who people are by their username so I decided to make it harder haha)
"No doubt." Sadie nodded. "... Not that there's anything wrong with being a miner. It's good, honest work... but I do hope the kids realize they have a choice in the matter. I try to be an example of that."

"And good for you, I say. That mine's running dry anyhow; it's only a matter of time before the town empties."

(do itttt altho I admit I have 0 idea how long it's going to last xD)
"True." Sadie nodded. "Hopefully we get a bit of stimulus going on in the economy. I teach a lot of bright young minds -- maybe they'll grow up to be entrepreneurs or something."

"If they do, chances are they'll be moving out immediately after graduating. Nobody wants to stay here; there's nothing offered."

Sadie shrugged, unable to argue with that. And yet also unable to agree with it without risking sounding like an 'ungrateful outsider' and getting shunned further. "I can't control their actions; I'm just going to try to invest in them as much as I can while they're in my classroom."

"That's all you can do," she said. "But hey, keep at it."

"Will do." Maybe. Sadie nodded to her with a faint smile. "I appreciate the kind words; it's a tough part of the semester."

"Yeah? Why's that?" She leaned on the counter, brow furrowed.
