Please keep being mad about the rent thing Im glad Im not the only one
I AM MAD!
The only reason to ask for rent from a friend in need when you yourself have excess is pride or selfishness. You can mutually donate to house funds like Asra totally does the whole time bringing you thinks to make spells with and ingredients to sell. He contributes to the house like a house mate! you easily afford the lot you live on! Your shop is bustling and this person is supposed to be someone you love. Even if you aren’t in love with him, or doing his route, the MC is supposed to view him as a dear friend or even family?
If you don’t need more money so that you can both stay in the house then why do you expect him to pay you to stay in your house? Co-paying rent is for when you need it. And I think it’s honestly pretty gross to demand your homeless friend pay you money you don’t even need after the frankly hard, disgusting overwhelming work of caring for a catatonic person with a magical affliction and no memories to draw on. you were vulnerable as a babe in a crib. but unlike a baby you probably weighed min 100lbs. Asra is not a large person. I can only hope Muriel helped because hospice care is really physical work. 24/7 for however long it took to teach back to fully functioning adult. Within 3 years.
I know people don’t like him as a character but making him pay rent is so controlling and unlikable. you want the MC to be a landlord? Gross.
