[ Ah... makes sense. ]
I hope what you do helps you make those bills. How many siblings do you have?

[ Gaku, at least, won't be questioning anything about family, that's for sure. ]
Ah, so you gotta take care of everyone, right? I don't have siblings, but that's how I've always imagined it.

I like to think that working hard is enough, but if you don't have someone with the right connections looking out for you, it can be impossible to move up.

[ this is probably a sight to behold by anyone who has the misfortune to walk in on such a scene. while achilles is acutely aware of how genuinely messed up this looks, all his attempts to thwart his own movements are met with more dance steps and a certain vigor in his singing?
is that vibrato? maybe, but he seems equal parts passionate and joyful, even as he continues to sing along an answer to steinbeck. ] 🎶 I don't actually know.
Maybe your tears broke me? 🎶

[ abandoned...
uta know a thing or two about being abandoned; the pain and the betrayal of it. a feeling of resentment and anger that bubbled deep within her and something she only recently was able to quell. it's kind of unfair how there's much that she can relate to. ]
I'd say that sharks are better than those kind of people. At least they'll try to completely devour whatever they sink their teeth into.
[ she almost wants to suggest to call them monsters but...even some monsters know a thing or two about finishing what is started. maybe it's why she's not too unnerved by steinbeck's actions or his expression when she meets it. ]
You don't have to apologize. Unlike you, I probably moved too fast, but I think so. If there was any person who could realize my dream, then it would be him.
[ her voice is a little fond. bittersweet. ]

That's true. Nature is understandable. Meanwhile, man's just the cruelest animal.
[What other animal on this earth would lie, steal, cheat, create a system like this where only a select few get to reap the rewards? Even if in nature its about survival of the fittest, all of this feels infinitely worse. Purposeful.]
Aw. [He can tell how much she cares, just by that statement alone.] I hope he does. What's he like?

Or they hold you up just so they can use you to make money.
[ Gaku's bitter too, though for a different reason. ]

That's what I'm asking you. Please make me stop. 🎶
[ it isn't like he's particularly good at this and yet here he is, singing his heart out to a crying steinbeck. but despite it, he seems to grab steinbeck's shoulders desperately, shaking him... as if this would stop any of this. shaking and dancing... what a combo. ]
Is it what we ate...?
