Fitzgerald actually really is peak capitalist behavior. When visiting Margaret in coma, he really went “if she could speak right now, I'm sure she'd say this— ‘Take me off of this life support! Send all the money you're spending on me to my family back home!’, family who I am perfectly able and legally allowed to provide for and take out of starvation and decadence if only I chose to. Too bad nobody can do anything about it, her fate is so tragic and her wishes destined to never be fulfilled 😔😔💔💔”

No because… they really skimped out on so much characterisation in bsd. Tonan did all that against Fukuzawa because his father–whom he clearly loved–was murdered. Higuchi joined the Mafia to provide for her little sister. Kunikida cried for two hours after the Agency was reunited because he was so overcome. Again, because he loves them all. Ango visits Oda’s grave, Gide calls Akutagawa a ‘little black duckling’, Francis shows Atsushi the amount of life-support Margaret is on just to stop her dying, Akutagawa smiled at Atsushi while he was dying. Atsushi calls Akutagawa a lawnmower, Yosano also smiles when she thinks she’ll die, Ango gets teased by his bodyguards, Dazai and Fyodor throw food at each other. All of these are such humanizing tributes that flesh out everyone and give more context for how they are

OOC:
Can you imaginr what would happen if Lovecraft became president.
Louisa: Sir there's... there's an issue
Francis: Hm? Is this 'issue' going bankrupt?
Louisa: ...No...
Francis: Then it can't be that bad.
Louisa: Howard has become President.
Francis: I take back my words. WHAT.
Louisa: I don't know, either! H-He was just- somehow elected? I think Twain got him to run for president as a joke but-
Francis: And people genuinely voted for him?
Louisa: Apparently so...
Francis: ...Good GOD.

Lucy: What? What happened?
Mark: You know that idea I had that you said was pure insanity and wouldn't work?
Lucy: ...Which one?
Mark: The one regarding Lovecraft...
Lucy: Yeah, that really narrows it down, Twain.
Mark: Hey! But anyway- er, you know how I jokingly made Lovecraft run for president...?
Lucy: ...Don't tell me.
Mark: Yeah.
Lucy: Sigh.

“...This is the solstice, the still point
of the sun, its cusp and midnight,
the year’s threshold
and unlocking, where the past
lets go of and becomes the future;
the place of caught breath, the door
of a vanished house left ajar...”
