Rae Rae is both terrified and grateful to be alive, and generally trying to stay awake during the middle part of the day after lunch. Trying not to be overwrought by political doom, Rae Rae distracts themself by doing social work by day, and watching Heated Rivalry or the Valkyries while eating comfort cereal at night. Also, they are totally thrilled to be in a Union, and think everyone should try it, at least once.
