[He sits there, at the edge of the pool, as the texts come in, one by one. He didn't really realize he was asking for help from Dave, or even encouragement. Ryuji thinks that he's just being honest about stuff, not incredibly self-aware that the things he was saying were particularly harsh or self-deprecating. And although he's never really struggled with identity that much, he always found himself questioning purpose.
So here's Mufasa, in the clouds, looking down at the son he's left behind, a pivotal scene that changes the entire direction of the movie, gives the protagonist the will to reclaim what's always meant to be his, and Ryuji's... actually glad that he's alone right now so that he doesn't have to feel the need to brush everything off or be a stronger person than he really is.
And here's Dave, being incredibly fucking obtuse and roundabout in a message that doesn't need a metaphor scrambled on top of it to get its point across.
Incredibly obtuse, actually.
He smirks. Whatever, it's his style. Time to brute force that shit, though.]
Can't really look out of your own eyes and see much more on your face than your nose, yeah? When you're livin' in your own head it's hard to know that you're doin' anything right, but you gotta keep going anyway.
Dave... you're not that great at this stuff, so it was probably a pain to say all that
But I guess what I'm trying to get at here is that... thanks for trying to steer me to pride rock, too. I wish I coulda been there for you and your group so that I might've been able to see the world through your eyes. Kinda corny, right? Sorry.
I keep gettin the sense that whatever the hell that game was... was a lot harder and bigger than the things you wanna talk about. And it's cool. You don't have to. It's the past anyway, and that doesn't matter a whole lot.
Or maybe it does? I don't know what the hell the point of any of this shit is, honestly. So you're right. Screw being an amazing engineer, I'll keep being myself. And uh. You keep being you. I think you're pretty damn great. So if you need a Mufasa to push your ass around, let me know.
Anyway, this has seriously filled my corny meter to an astounding 110%.
