who is this character?

Ya know what, I'll accept that answer. I tip my hat to you good sir

but just 'explained' is best tbh

or you could say 'gave an explanation of the plan'

Also, I kind of relate but in my case rather then to actually stop caring I just thought I didn't care because I suppressed emotions & mostly kind of felt numb inside cuz casual depression🤘🏻

Fair enough, It depends heavily on your own personality & how you deal with things. Now, sometimes even if we think we stopped caring & got used to it we still unconsciously feel the impact of it. I guess everyone copes differently & tolerates differently.Also depending on where the bullying or abuse is occurring & how far people go , so I dunno. Understandable

Free brain crystal?

uhhh... but... they will though?

Also, if its 20$ a day, it's prolly enough for him to get a ticket for like 5$ (I dunno, depends on the world) & if he eats really unhealthy like very store bought stuff or very few cheap easy ingredients. Again, depends on the world

Maybe it's not always 20$ & it alternates? or maybe he gets particularly cheap bad train service I dunno. We dunno how this book's world works. Perhaps there are different train compartments for the poorer & richer as well which makes less cost. Maybe there are train compartments with no seats which makes it cheaper & is specifically for the less privileged/worse brain Crystal people. Maybe it's kinda like racism

Just because you're used to it & expect it doesn't make it any less painful nor any less anger inducing. That's simply how any form of bullying or abuse works. You feel powerless & like you can't do anything so you hold your emotions in.At least until a later time when you get angry enough to the point where you explode, verbally, physically, or on your own using other means to vent.

Maybe no one else bullies him physically, but verbally they still do.

lol

Wowee

I think the author meant you don't yet understand how the world within this story works

😂
