- Crushing Expectations -
#MyGO #bandoriart
I tried to capture what it might've felt like for Taki being under constant pressure, trying to live up to the expectations of those around her :')
(Some lines are taken from the "Breathing next to you" event. I highly recommend watching it if you haven't)
Growing up like that is what shaped Taki to always feel pressured to do better. She was conditioned to always try her hardest. In the wind ensemble club, the pressure came from those around Taki comparing her to Maki...
But with Mygo, the pressure comes from Taki herself comparing herself to Sakiko. Because her past experience shaped her mentality that way.
"That's the only way I know how to do things."
She's not a genius like them so she must try hard all the time. That became the norm for her
I think her feelings of inferiority will not disappear easily. But I think she'll first learn to at least not put herself under constant pressure. The game event already gave us a hint of Taki going down the right path, but there's still a long way to go...
And if she faces Sakiko in S2 (like what Coco hinted at), I think the feeling of inferiority will overwhelm her once again. I think there might be some painful experiences awaiting her :') But it's necessary for her development. She must learn to finally break free.
I'll be cheering for you Taki-chan... Please survive and be happy...
