i ended up figuring out how i'm gonna segue into the last third of the story, which requires me sabotaging the protagonist's main way of making herself some money, and although she's smart enough to have earned enough to sustain herself for a while in just a week, it locks her love interest back into fast food so his life gets drained more and more so the next big moment makes sense

that being said, not sure how a super genius in this world would find a job without prior education or job experience, even if she managed to find her ids like birth certificate from recalling really past memories, or how to earn money with just an id

aside from fast food and soul-draining jobs
