I don't know, is being belittled by your family at every moment "that bad"?

[ Hans takes a long sip of his wine, sighing again. ]

They use every available chance to remind me of how useless I am. And now, as if to prove them right, it turns out the mess with Anna and her sister ended in failure. [ I mean, they were awful things, surely even Seymour knows by now, but it still hurts when you're the bad guy. ]

The only thing waiting for me at home is a long ship ride home, if I'm lucky. Ridicule among my family was bad enough, now they'll be able to openly berate me and treat me like shit.

[ Damn right, he cursed. He's been holding back for too long. ]
