A little, I guess... ? You can get better jobs if you know how to write... but it worked out, okay! I got a good job at the lumber yard anyway, so when I'm not helping my parents with the planting or the harvest I'm keeping busy.

A lot of people in the Circle say they come from places where almost everyone gets to go to school, though. That's amazing.

[witchdaggah]

Yeah, I don't know. Not everyone gets to go where I'm from.

[ it's expensive, and sometimes you get stuck with your family's debt or trying to make sure the business doesn't go under or... well, details. ]

I, uh. I'm sorry they didn't give you a choice, Konoha.

[lumberlady]

Oh, no, it's okay! My family is just farmers, it's not like I expected to really be able to.

[She waves it off with a small laugh, trying to dispel the damper.]

It's just nice to imagine fancy worlds like that I guess.

[ no!! it's just like bea!!! argh!!! why does this happen! she's so nice!!! ]

I think you're too like, cool, to not have been given a choice, though. Like, you could have done both. School and farming! I always thought farming would be cool, like I wouldn't need school then... and it'd just be, my dogs, and my cats, and we'd howl at the moon every night.

Awoooooooooooooo!

[ said the cat. ] But like, you could do both, and that's still pretty cool.
