Pretty good story; substitute the ease with which the well-off and privileged have everything arranged for their convenience for that of Paul’s ‘Nowts’ and you aren’t too far from today. Like they say in Northern England ( where I grew up ) “you don’t get owt for nowt”.

Wait for Dulce to get out of the hole. The sex itself will be worth it, and there is a likeness for a lot of other fun. If you play it well, you may get even enough resources for a nowt upgrade of your own.

Because, seriously, who would WANT to plod in the base state when there’s such option.
