Summary:
My entry for this casual prompt by love-bokumono-fics on tumblr. I like how this one came out. Tag warning for explicit alcoholism and heavily implied abuse.
Mineral Town is a lot different than Forget-me-not Valley. It's more of a cohesive small town/village rather than a ragtag group of rural folk, with a different structure altogether. It's got a church, a cop, several families, and much more gossip, it seems. I can vouch personally that the difference between a small town and collection-of-people-in-the-middle-of-nowhere is pretty notable.
Manna and Duke are clearly a toxic couple imo. Duke's an alcoholic, Manna is a gossip, and their daughter definitely had a reason to leave. I haven't played enough of the remake to know if they took down a few of those red flags for child-friendliness sake. My take is that Manna is aware of how bad it is, but actively chooses to put up with it (and blame herself, a little bit) all while saying "the neighbors do the same thing" or banking on alternatives being worse. I might do more with them eventually. For music, I listened to Joey by Concrete Blonde for the general vibes of their relationship.

Summary:
Manna wakes up bright and early every morning for her usual morning routine. She has a winery to run and a husband she loves very much, thank you, even if things have been hard lately, we all understand all about that, though, and that's just what life hands you sometimes.
