https://youtu.be/o0q3CsldcKk?si=Z0vmCrImAyJh5we_Niji offered to pay Mika's taxes which they deduct from her pay every month. So she coasts by two years with this arrangement glad that she's not paying taxes out of her own wallet, until the local government slapped her with a notice on why she had not paid her taxes. When she contacted Niji about this, they replied that they weren't paying *her* taxes, they were paying *their own* taxes.
As a result, she had to liquidate a lot of things including her insurance, leaving her at one point with just $300 in her pocket, just so she could pay of her debt. She was so poor in fact that for 6 months even avoided going to her doctor when she got sick, and didn't even go to therapy, because in her own words, "I cannot afford to get sick", despite all of her known health issues.
