Every instance in this recent update just made me think 'thank god jean at least has lisa' cause why is the responsible adult in the room always the bad guy 😭
I'm sorry but this pissed me off so much.
Jean: im sorry i cant celebrate i still have work...
Varka: you cant miss this chance!
Jean: ok, help me with work later so I can come with you guys now
Varka: uhh, actually you're on your own, Ill go drink with them instead
