@talisay999, @Serenata, and @pink_rabbit: My impression is that Neeko's mom wants her daughter to come to this realization on her own -- that she could at least do a small-time job like this from home, to slowly build up her shattered confidence until she can actually go out and look for a more typical full-time job.
It's just that Neeko appears to have misunderstood her mom's signals as the usual condescension towards her NEET-ness.
I don't know if this will lead to her getting paid. If you've ever worked in graphic design, you'll know a lot of people don't think it's worth paying for (though they won't do it themselves for some reason).
@Pandacron fuck those people, for real. They'll ask for a million changes and they even have the gall to get mad when you don't get it: "get this right or I won't pay you!"
I honestly don't know why my friend hasn't told these "customers" to go fuck right off a damn cliff.
