one thing that I've noticed about neuvillette's character is his rain voice line that goes "ah, my apologies, this heavy rain must be quite an inconvenience for you." it breaks my heart each time I hear it in game, because he's saying he believes his feelings are an inconvenience. that he is a burden, when he most certainly is not. almost like he's ashamed of crying when he's sad. neuvillette, in a nutshell, is a heartbreaking character who is painfully lonely and lost due to his difficulty with connecting with others and understanding them, when he barely understands himself. I just wanna give him a hug 💔
B: "Hey Ray."
R: "Ton, you bastard. What are you doing here?"
B: "I think that's my line. What's with you and Sand?"
R: "What? We're friends. and you and Nick?"
B: "I'm here to talk about that hostel project."
N: "Sorry, dude. I interrupted you guys again. I'll be in my room."
B: "Hey, hang on. Since we're all here, let's party."
N: "You're just bothering them, come on."
S: "Hey, it's alright. Let's drink."
B: "Sand. This ain't your typical stuff, isn't it?"
...
All: "Cheers!"
...
R: "The cookie's getting to me."
S: "I told you to hold back."
R: "Good thing I'm not driving. Can I stay over?"
S: "More often than this I'm going to start making you pay rent."
R: "Go ahead."
N: "Sand. Can I ask you something? Are you and Ray going out?
You two talk all lovey-dovey like you're a thing, you know?"
S: "Look at his face. Look how squishy he looks.
He looks just like a dog my mother has."
R: "You jerk, I'm not a dog. And I'm not his boyfriend."
B: "Ray. I bet Sand likes you. I can tell."
R: "Really?"
B: "So what is it, Sand? Do you like him? My buddy here has both the looks and the dough. His type is hard to come by, you know?"
S: "Now that you said that, my answer has to be yes now, doesn't it?
But if you really want to know, ask me again when I'm sober."
R: "Do you like me?"
N: "Oh, oh, oh? Kiss him. Kiss him, man. Kiss."
B: "Even if you really like Ray, I doubt it will work out between the two of you.
Ray's whole ass is owned by Mew."
R: "What the hell are you saying?"
B: "Sand doesn't know you've been in love with your best friend for years?
But Mew is with Top now. Someone beat you to it, man. What a shame for my pal. Oh, wait. My bad. I remember you and Mew making out.
Did you take his virginity?"
R: "Ton, what the shit are you going on about?"
B: "Oh? I saw everything. I took some photos, actually."
R: "What the hell did you do that for, bastard?"
B: "What? I just want to keep track of my best friend's romantic moments.
Was I wrong?"
R: "'Keep track'? Jerk."
N: "Hey!"
S: "Hey, Ray!"
N: "Ton. You're drunk. Stop it!"
B: "Sand has every right to know Ray is in love with Mew. They even screwed.
But good thing you came along, Sand. He needs to get over Mew."
R: "What does it have to do with you?"
B: "Then why the hell did you get so mad? If you're not in love with him anymore, then why did you get so mad? Oh... Are you going to be two-timing."
S: "Ray, stop!"
N: "Ton, enough!"
S: "Stop! Go to your room! I said go to your room!!"
N: "Let's go."
R: "Nick? Let me warn you. If you plan to fall for him, your life will be miserable.
Because the likes of him don't know how to love anyone but himself."
N: "Crap."
Li Ming is so painfully aware of how much he doesn't fit in. Not with his mom so now he lives with his uncle. Not with his uncle with them fighting all the time. Not with his friends when he has to go back home and work at the diner. Not with his friends when they discuss their plans after graduation. Certainly not with his friends when they discuss dates they want to go on and girls they find cute. Not with the work and study program he aims towards, not with his poor English skills. Not with the one friend he has somehow made in the middle of all this - although that one gets close.
In the middle of all of this, where you can see his physical discomfort at standing out and a yearning desire to fit in somewhere, he still makes an active effort to stand out with his bright red watch worn on his right hand while everyone around him wears theirs on their left.
Given the opportunity to fit in somewhere, he chose to stand out. All Li Ming wants is to fit in while being himself. All he wants is to feel like people around him would accept him.
