"My plan was actually to ask you to live in our family apartment floor, register yourself, and join the basic income program. The cost is around 70% of your basic, and that includes my pay for being your parent and the schools and courses you're entitled to join."

"Wait, I would pay you for being my parent? What? And you pay for school here? Weeeird. On the other hand, you give income to kids, so. Different system I guess. So I would use the 30% left for... food, transport, a phone plan, and fun stuff. Is that... enough?"

"Oh, and I guess taxes? I know it's a thing that adults do but I have no clue how they work."

"We try to have a thing about paying for everything here, that way everyone can pay attention to the numbers and better know what's happening everywhere. The last 30% is plenty for the things you ask about, I'd say, and, well, you have 30% left because you're sort-of paying taxes for school and so parents don't have to pay me to babysit their kids."

"I... see."

"Wait, do you also pay for library cards? That would be terrible. Libraries should be free!"

"Library cards for the newest and nicest libraries aren't free, but all the other ones are, and even the ones you have to pay for are pretty cheap most of the time."

Mmmmmhh. They do have free libraries, so it's fine.

"If I move in... with you? next to you? how does that work?"

"Well, you get your room in the boarding section, with all the other kids, and it's right next to the classroom, athletics room, play room, baths and everything else? Everything's really standard... our standard, I of course mean."

"Will my room have a lock I can close from the inside?"
