I can think about getting something for myself once I've bought everything I want to for this place.
[Rob chews on his lower lip for a second.]
I... When I finished the first cart, I felt... I guess it was a feeling of accomplishment? Not like the accomplishment from winning a game of Magic or reaching Exalted with a faction, an accomplishment that actually means something. It's almost the same as when I saw the tree I bought for the first time, or... or every time I killed a Squirt. The Squirts are kind of different, though. They're more about the feeling afterwards when I realized I just did something that allowed me to continue to exist. But either way... that kind of accomplishment's... something I haven't felt in a long time. Years, maybe. It... It felt good.
