The gut-wrenching fact that Todd's parents only got involved and interested in his life and scolarity when Neil died, because they feared for their reputation.
Neil's death is what finally made them turn their eyes on their son, and yet even there they didn't even care about him.
Your roomate and friend killed himself ? Don't bring shame on the family's name.
The only time you give a damn about your son is when he's grieving, looking devastated in the director's office right next to you, and you don't even have a word of comfort for him; Just orders to not bring disapppointment to the family.
