thinking about how because haru comes from a privileged background as someone with a high socioeconomic status, she'll never fully be able to understand the other pts, as people who are lower to middle class. thinking about how she'll never fully understand what akechi went through as someone who most likely had to live in poverty for a while, despite both having comically shitty dads who are abusive towards them.
it's about the fact that ultimately haru would not have access to such privilege had her father been shittier and thrown her out. it's about how the amount of power a child has is ultimately dependent on their parents, and wealthy parents does not necessarily mean a wealthy child. it's about how, ultimately even after everything, haru very much does not experience losing her privileges and her socioeconomic standing because of the way circumstances played out.
i feel they'd never be able to understand each other and i feel they'd resent each other for a long while. haru can never understand the experience of living in poverty and akechi can't see past haru's conditional privilege, at least not yet, not while he's still living through the tragedy of a rejected child by the privileged in society. but that's what makes their dynamic oh so fascinating
okumura is haru's dad, he's akechi's boss, and he's terrible to both of them (explicit in haru's case, implied through the way he treats his employees in akechi's case). haru will never get her justice the way she wants it just like how akechi will never get to deal with shido the way he wants to.
they're cordial to each other. neither will apologise. they're so so interesting
