Interesting! I have a side-project going at the moment about my own farm lore from further in the future of my universe 😊 Even if Riley's fate lays in a different direction, will be get to see some harvesting and processing in this story? Maybe (just spit-balling here) she thinks the demands made on a companion animal may be too much so her mum takes her to see an abattoir so she can make a more informed choice?
