Book-Kun's Insight (97!): One night in January, Book-Kun directs you to a open yard, where you find a young girl lying in the snow, beaten to an inch of their life. You do the right thing, and bring her to your home.
A while later, you find out that the girl was beaten up by an insane martial artist (snowman building martial arts? what?) who cornered her while her father went and made some arrangements for moving into the area.
[+6 Karma!, +6 000 Opinion with Utena and Lars Atlas]

While attending school, you notice a couple of kids have been starting up their own self-made businesses. Little things, like a stall run at the local farmer's market selling lemonade, or a girl going door to door selling knick knacks.
You do some scheming, and decide to write up a (mostly) legal contract with four of these smart kids: You give them one-hundred dollars a month, and they pay you 30% of their profits, plus a flat 50$ per trimester.
Most of them agree straight away, with one of the four trying to bargain a better deal but failing.

Miniturn
During a particularly cold night in January, you find yourself incapable of sleeping. It'd been a slow day, and some odd feeling had distracted you throughout the day, as if you'd forgotten something.
What do you do to quell this feeling?
[] Get up...
-[] And do some relaxing stances from your martial arts class.
-[] And take a moment to meditate on your thoughts.
[] Try to go back to sleep.
[] The GnOmes!
