~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Where should I begin?

Well let’s go back to 2 days ago, the source of my problem. It was a normal day in mondstat, the birds chirping, the wind lightly blowing. My family was like any other, my parents both owned a private commission center, and I took care of the house when they worked. I had just gotten home from my daily errands when my parents were sitting gravely at the kitchen table. I closed the door behind me. As soon as I entered, my father spoke to me.

“Y/n. Sit down. We have something to tell you.”

My father said, motioning to the chair across him. I nervously sat down, they never really talked to me like this before. They were usually always working or spending mora.

“What’s wrong? Why do you guys look so… stressed?”

I asked, looking at their faces. My mother, who’s face I inherited, looked tired, black eye bags overtaking her usual youthful appearance. My father was no better, with his hands folded on the table, sweat running down his face. It didn’t match their lavish clothes and jewels. He stared at me for what felt like hours before he finally spoke.

“We’re in debt. A whole mountain of it.”

He spat out, waiting for my reaction. Debt? That isn’t that big a deal. My parents had always worked, allowing them to have a large sum of mora stored away. Im sure this will blow over soon.

“What do you mean? We were just fine yesterday!”

I sighed, relaxing a bit. There was nothing for us to be in debt for! I get it now! They were just being as overdramatic as always.

“Y/n. Your mother and I are going to go to jail.”

Jail? I was shocked, opening my mouth in awe.

“You’re going to… jail?”

I sat up straight. A question coming out of my mouth.

“Why? Why are we even in debt?”

I feverishly asked, pounding the table with my hands.

“The business has gone sour! Some treasure hoarders went to the knights and pinned their crimes on us! We had a deal with them! How could they!!”

Father angrily said, suddenly standing. The sudden flow of information went into my mind. Losing everything? A pit fell into my stomach. What was this about a deal? I’ve never heard of such a thing. Just then the door flew open.

“Mr and Mrs l/n. You are hereby arrested for the embezzlement of 1 billion mora.”

A line of guards came into the house, seizing Mama and Papa. They willingly accepted the handcuffs. I stood from the table. I couldn’t do anything but watch.

“Y/n! We’ll be out soon! Please don’t worry about us and worry about yourself!”

My mother cried as the guards pushed her out of the door. Father shot me an apologetic look… no it was a look of pity, before a guard came up to me.

“Ms. l/n, this property is being seized under the Knights of Favornius, you have 48 hours to vacate.”

He handed me a notice of eviction and left. I stood there in shock, trying to process what had just happened. My parents were arrested for embezzlement, and my house was being foreclosed? What was I going to do? I put my hand on my head, trying to ease the headache.

“First I have to remain calm. That’s what anyone would logically do in this situation.”

I whispered to myself, trying to regain my composure. Pacing back and forth, I went over the possibilities. If the house had been seized, that most likely meant all the mora had been drained as well. So now I am poor. Great. You could sell your mother’s jewels for some money, but that wouldn’t be enough to live off of, not to mention you didn’t know the situation with your parents.

“Hmmmmmm..”

I hummed, and then it hit me. I’ll get a job!
