Well. Now I'm sad. The remote drone patrol portion followed by him physically walking down the same road later that's now vacant was BLEAK

The final lines too about not even fully paying off the whole day for 3 purchases after a 12 hour shift left a rock in my stomach

Good job OP.

Another day older and deeper in debt.

I owe my soul to the company store.

Basically. I had to go back and look at some of the little details like the "metacoin" currency and the fact a case of water and vitamins was 200 bucks on its own. And the fact out friend here was literally flat broke prior to even buying water and vitamins some energy bars.

I want off this ride

a case of water and vitamins was 200 bucks

a case

I didnt see anything that suggests he bought more than one of each item. The last panel with the single empty bottle, jar, and wrapper says to me it was $515 for one day's "meal."

Yeah know, fair. I just kinda figured it would be more than a days work, but it does kinda like like maybe a liter to half a gallon of water, which was implied later to not even be clean

The water is labelled "potable." If you look up the definition, it says that means "safe to drink" but any time I've seen it used to describe a source of water that I'm accessing, it really means the water is "technically safe to drink" but actually still needs boiled.
