[ except you just described her actual high school experience :c ]

-- Bad bear experience, huh?

The Station's got those. I'm just not sure it has...everything else.

[ this is true nobility, right? the fact that she's even contemplating giving up her hair-dryer for the sake of dawn's education. ]
