Megan was thrilled to discover her comment got a like and the Mirrorscape had responded with "you're welcome" even though that was the standard response. They bothered responding at all and that was better than nothing!
Unfortunately for her, she couldn't properly enjoy her little victory because her car broke down. The battery up and died out of nowhere and she really didn't have the money to replace it.
She lived alone in a studio apartment because she knew no roommate of hers would ever be able to stand her constant violin practice and she preferred having her own space anyway. The rent took up approximately half of her income and she had to find a way to live on the rest while still saving in case of emergencies. Like this one.
"Ugh, kill me," she groaned.
