CQ was in her room, pacing around, while chewing on her finger nails. "How even should I pay the hospital bills..." She sighed and sat down on her bed. "Where even should I get the money for- Liam would never... give me that much." The woman groaned and rubbed her forehead, before glancing to her side and taking the plushy into her arms.

Error then peaked into the room, blinking in concern when he saw his mother pacing around. 'Mama's worried about money again... But she has a new job...?' Error was honestly just confused before slowly entering CQ's room, letting himself be known by the creaking of the door.

CQ flinched and quickly hid the plushy, before looking tensed at Error. "Oh- hey Ruru. What do you want?"

"Mama, are you okay...?" Error softly asked, he was hugging his stabhorse plushy while rubbing his eyesocket a bit. Clearly having just woken up despite it being in the middle of the night.

CQ smiled slightly. "Yeah, I am fine, Ruru. But why are you up so late? Shouldn't you be sleeping?" The woman raised an eyebrow, as she looked at Error.

"I couldn't sleep..." Error yawned, that was a lie, he was staying up exploring the mansion again before moving and hugging her. "Are you sure you're fine mama...?" He knows, after all, he's overheard CQ. He glanced up at CQ in concern.

The woman just smiled and rubbed Error's head. "Yeah, I am fine. Don't worry about me." She hummed. "But do you need a good night story or something like that? I would love to help you sleep." CQ booped Error over his nose hole.

"Mhh... I just wanna be with you mama..." Error murmured softly, staying silent for a bit. "Mama... Me and Inky had a talk the other day..." Error trailed off in thought. CQ blinked and took Error into his lap. "What about it?" She asked, looking down at her son.

"What's... What's a Lottery? Inky mentioned it, and in english too." Error explained. "Or was it from google translate... I think it was translated actually..." Error mumbled to himself in thought.

"A lottery is... something where Adults go to and make a big sum of money. But it's a lucky game - worse than a claw machine - and is very addicted. Usually people lose more money than they would ever be able to make." CQ explained and scratched her cheek.

"Oh... Can children play lottery too?" Error tilted his skull in confusion. "I wanna win a lottery for mama!" 

"I don't know? I was never in a lottery." CQ hummed. "But I don't think so, honestly? Why should children be allowed to go to the lottery?" She answered and petted Error's head. "Also, you don't need to win the lottery for me, Ruru. I am fine without it."

"I wanna win it." Error huffed childishly. "I wanna win for mama!" Error then hugged CQ lightly. "I wanna help mama with money!" "Error, you don't need to-" CQ tried once again. "You're still a child, you shouldn't worry about this."

"Nope, I will find a lottery and win it for you!" Error cheered happily. "I still gots spare money from my lunch earlier! I'll go tomorrow!" Now Error was excited, he'll be able to help his mother! And Fresh too! It's a win win situation!

"Error, no, you really don't need to-" CQ sighed and rubbed her forehead. "Once again, you're still a child- why do you even want to get money?" The woman huffed and rubbed over Error's cheek.

"Money for mama!" Error hummed lightly, grinning at CQ. "Mama has trouble with money so I wanna help mama!" CQ blinked. "I... what?" She said and tilted her head, worried that Error heard her.
