texture · Nov YDAU; reported by Orin

When: Nov YDAU (the Steeply interview), characterizing an ongoing dynamic.
What: Orin characterizes Avril as compulsively obsessing over Mario's "various challenges and tribulations and little patheticnesses," worshipping him as "some kind of secular martyr to the mess she'd made of her adult life," while keeping up a laissez-faire front of letting him go his own way.
