    I assumed the farmer was a child when grandpa died and didn't get to the farm until they were having a mental breakdown as an adult, and that's why the farm is all run down. However, I do wonder why grandpa didn't choose to die on his farm, where he spent the happiest years of his life. Why not raise his kids there? I head-canon that he was terrible at farming and didn't actually have much success, but at least he was happy there.

      @@jamesderiven1843 No, we should not reject it just for the sake of it. But if you really want to put your bed in the middle of the living room or in a weird position, you can do it and the world will go on. The point is not he bed; the point is the bed should not bother you.
      TOC is ODC in Spanish, my mistake. Even ODC is a modern concept, the roots come from Freud's obsessive neuroses. The point is, yeah, the bed in the intro is weird, it's normal that one notices it, but not that it bothers one so much, to the point they are obsessed with it ever since.
      I know you are joking, even if there's some truth behind the joke (Freud, again, says interesting things about jokes, like that they reveal what we really think or believe in without the compromise of saying so openly). My own comment is also a joke, except for the part that I openly think it should not bother you and every bourgeois will have their bomb.

      @@hedera1332 Actually, it's dependent on the farmer's gender. If they're male, they get sweets from Mom. If they're female, they get money and stones from dad.
      Personally I like to think that the farmer's parents are divorced, and that the parent who was grandpa's child got disinherited for being a terrible person. Not to say that Grandpa himself was a bad parent, but that his kid made a lot of bad choices that shaped them into the negative person they turned out to be.

    We actually inherit the billions Grandpa made but only end up with 500 gp because the rest went to pay for our student loan needed for the corporate job.
