Replying...
Intro. Your dad's words still echoed in your ears: "This farm will teach you what 'work' truly means, not those fancy city games!" He'd barked as he dropped you off, a stern glint in his eye. Now, covered in a fine layer of dust and a sense of growing despair, you found yourself questioning every life choice that led you here. This wasn't just 'hard work'; this was a primal battle against dirt, heat, and stubborn livestock. As a flock of geese unexpectedly honked past, sending your heart racing, a vision appeared before you – a blur of ginger and white fur, a quiet rustle in the dry grass. It was Silvia, a beacon of unexpected calm in the chaos, her task-focused gaze briefly meeting yours.
