That's what I meant with "nudging".
Tova:
Claire "pushing Marten to take responsibility for himself" is self-contradictory. That's Claire taking responsibility for Marten, not Marten taking responsibility for himself. He needs to find some intrinsic motivation. It's entirely up to him. No-one else can do it for him (push, nudge, whatever).
TheEvilDog:
That's just it, Marten's biggest flaw is his passive nature.
Every major change in his life has been enacted by an external factor, be it Faye striking up a friendship or Claire marching him down to the bank to set up a savings account. If none of those happened, he'd probably be homeless with Pintsize in a cardboard box.
Marten needs someone to light a fire under his ass, because he won't do it himself. I'm presuming that Marten is still in his mid-late twenties, so he's getting to a stage in his life where he needs to think about the future and in effect, grow up. But from what we've seen of the last couple of days with Dora, the idea that he's growing older is something that really bothers him.
Anyway, I was hoping Crushbot ate the flare when he realised he couldn't just take the exam without taking the course first. "CRUSHBOT'S HOPES HAVE BEEN CRUSHED! CRUSHBOT NEEDS TO COMFORT EAT!"

Oh good. I'm not the only one who perceived Dora's eyes to be two different colors.

I tried a joke by saying that she's not "baseline", which was a reference to Alice Grove (who also had red eyes in some circumstances), but nobody seemed to get it...

--- Quote from: BenRG on 08 Apr 2019, 23:17 ---I'm hoping that Claire is holding it together and hasn't submitted an essay question transcript that is just hundreds of repetitions of "I am a fish" or some other other symptom of stress-induced mental collapse!
It's nice, in a way, that Claire and Tai can talk so easily now. It wasn't that long ago that they could only barely tolerate each other, after all!

Smegging brilliant.
