The rest of the day went by fairly quickly, and Anji found herself having spare time in the evening for the first time in a week. Her notes and book collection had also grown considerably. Pearl dropped by with her earlier to give her some books recommended by Senior Researcher Mo. There were no additional chores, as she had done them all before eight in the evening.

These were given to her by other people, even if they came from a library. Anji followed the rules. A little concession should not hurt. After all, loopholes would always exist for those who needed a way out.
