Damaged souls in general? That seems like quite the responsibility. What kind of compensation do you receive?

Fair wages are the least one can ask for in an inherently capitalistic world. [ b u t: ] I get compensated for my work here. Probably far more than any of the others do, but I know my own value and how to negotiate a contract.

You're so impressive, Mary.

[ genuinely, sincerely. her emotions are the same. ]
