I'm weirdly touched that in a tiny apartment a tank for her pet takes up all the counter space. She's giving her hermit crab as good a life as she physically can.
I have a bad sense of direction, but even I know if I get on a plane and they announce I'm going to Bermuda that's probably not where my Japanese husband, child, and house are.
This new subplot has a lot of Animal Farm references. But it's much more fun and creative than that of course.
