I wonder if part of the narrative will involve him turning his life around, in addition to getting over himself where she's concerned.
It's just very pointed, seemingly, about repeating the extreme disparity between the both of them, especially as it was laid out in the opening chapter that he used to be like she is now, and then "discovered" video games and thus turned utterly lazy and unmotivated.Don't question romslop about self-improvement
