Nocturnal Education




Her schooling is irregular; whereas there were set lesson times at the orphanage that deviated to trips out only holidays, Mr. and Mrs.Beaulieu provide Sage with numerous tutors in maths, sciences, art, and history. Lessons are given as often as she wishes and the books in the library are available to her at all times. She is inclined to read more than she is to listen to her tutors, but she does, for almost three years.
When she begins developing preference for some subjects over others, or coming up with new interests, new tutors are found that are paid extra to come at any hour, for Safe frequently studies late at night or early morning, at hours when she is the only one awake.
