The Loud-Voiced Auntie

Caught a water chit thief while I was minding the line, and the boss wasn't holding the gun in her own hand. First time I've seen that sight in thirty years running my line.

• Cha BongchulErasing a name off the gauge was always my job. Today, I didn't.
  The Loud-Voiced AuntieOld man, that's the priciest part of today's rumor.
• Hong MalSince when was handing the rule off to someone else the rule?
  Hong SeolyaI'm the one who sets the rule.
• BaekseungThe right paperwork from the purification tower can bring that child's name back. I'll name the price later.

An erased water chit doesn't go out on my stall. Hold on to a thing like this too long and it starts erasing your palm lines too.

• Young JaeAuntie, can't you just give that to me? Even erased ones carry a price.
  The Loud-Voiced AuntieYou little thing, your price is always double. Learn one thing at least, a dead name isn't for sale.
• Physician GalpaThe kid who came in wearing that around their neck still hasn't had the wrist set right.
