>>111688435That's kinda what did happen, Pintsize has been getting more screentime than Marten lately. When he shows up its mostly about Claire or Tai.
I think he is a good representation of an aimless NEET who is working the first job he fell into and has nothing else going on but occasionally drinking beer with his buddies.
Claire is an ambitious and hardworking person. Maybe she deserves better, but the first, easiest, most obvious way to provide value to her partner's life is to help him navigate a savings account, or following his dreams.
He can be a loser for the rest of his life, but his relationship won't last if he does. He'll have to find an indie-rock version of Marigold, who is content with complaining about bands from 2012 instead of doing anything worthwhile with their lives.
