Sawyer appears to be getting better with that blowtorch, because he managed to build his first mining machine without anymore butt fires. Progress!
Then since the poor guy has done nothing except slave away at his inventing table for the past week, I decided to let him have some fun and go check the new summer festival that just came to town.
But upon arriving, he hadn't even had a chance to participate in any of the festivities yet when he noticed his girlfriend Dora making out with his grandfather, Dwayne Wolff.
You see, because Sawyer was a teen when Dora began a relationship with him, he had no conversational options to breakup with her at the time. Then the moment he aged up to YA, she skipped right over romantic interest in his relationship panel and went straight to girlfriend. I was planning on having Sawyer breakup with Dora the next time he saw her, but now it looks like I won't need to...
...because he immediately marched right up to her and angrily called her out for cheating on him
with his own grandfather!
When Dora simply looked at him contritely but didn't reply, he turned to Dwayne and asked how he could possibly do this to his own flesh and blood. Dwayne looked dumbfounded and stammered that he had no idea she was Sawyer's girlfriend, and that she'd told him she was single.
Dora finally spoke up then, but when she started to say that all of this was just a silly misunderstanding Sawyer cut her off.
He then furiously shouted that their relationship was
over. Fuming and no longer in the mood for festivities, he then went home and proceeded to throw himself into his inventing in an attempt to forget about the entire afternoon.
But unsurprisingly inventing while angry and distracted proved to be a bad idea. After this the poor thing just gave up and went to bed.
Ruby hated seeing her grandson in such pain over that floozy, and she knew exactly how she could help. Late that night while the rest of the family was asleep, she made a trip to the mist shrouded cemetery with dark dealings in mind.
