February 18th 2024. It is a Sunday.

Sotsona gets home after a bit more than an hour on the bus and settles down at home.

As usual her parents say nothing to her as she arrives home.

While Sotsona is chilling in her room she realizes something.

Line 1) Sotsona's inner thoughts: We never signed the contract after listing out our clauses.

Line 2) Sotsona's inner thoughts: How did we forget such an important detail?

Line 3) Sotsona's inner thoughts: I guess because we were talking about the circumstances of our relationship it distracted us from sealing any deals.

Sotsona has racing thoughts about them leaving the contract unsigned.

She realizes something important.

Line 4) Sotsona's inner thoughts: Essentially that means I could still back out of this deal, right?
