"—Can't you even afford a few gemstones? Before graduation, I could understand you being broke. But after graduation, you're still broke—that's a little hard to understand... The Observer family isn't poor... You're working both for the teaching assistant group and Edge Academy, and the pay isn't low... And I know Professor Sima; he hasn't docked your allowance.
