Thank you all for your kind words on this ficlet! It was a really random, too-early-in-the-morning inspiration!

@Queen: I like those missed opportunities the best, tbh.

@Sara: You quoted some of my favourite lines! My absolute favourite has to be the fake charlatan one, though.

@Michael: She's not supposed to be Star (was she a sociology major too?). The raise mention was absolutely a callback though, it fit in great!
Haha imagine if it were Perry!

Again, thanks for reading and commenting, you all are so sweet!
