Part 7/9:

Many citizens, including Kate, express frustration over governance that seems to prioritize political correctness over the welfare of its citizens. The perception of a two-tier society—where newcomers receive preferential treatment while citizens struggle—has led to greater unrest. The mistreatment of those who have contributed to society through hard work and taxes is becoming an urgent problem that deserves recognition.

As Kate looks ahead at her own life plans and those of her younger sister, who requires specialized care, the sense of urgency about these systemic issues becomes apparent. If the government cannot provide adequate support for long-term citizens, many feel as though it's only a matter of time before societal frustration reaches a breaking point.
