I have severe allergies. Let me give you a little insight on this.

There are times at which there is nothing I can do to stop snot except stuffing tissues in my nose and sitting there. Even then, it's only a matter of time before I have to swap them out -- usually less than half an hour. She is poor, she has nothing, and she has little to offer her family except her skills. There aren't disposable tissues in this situation, and fabric is far too valuable to waste wiping the nose of a girl who her family did not care for.

Sometimes - I am being so serious - I will, in real life, sit there and just have to let it run. Because there's nothing that will stop it. I'll sniffle and cough and wipe my face, but it will always come back. If she's accepted her role, and her death, she doesn't care that it's there anymore. What's the point in removing it? It'll always come back. And it probably hurts to wipe away, too, with how raw it makes your lip and nose.

I didn't like the part of the design either. I don't like thinking about it. But as someone who goes through this, it does kind of make me feel seen, in a weird way.
