Also, thinking more (I'm reading what you wrote and all XD)... I kind of wonder if Shuuji is supposed to be the solution to the Talent Conundrum, at least according to Umino. Like, the problem isn't so much that you lack or feel the lack, it's that you fill up the lack with the wrong thing. Like Morita's brother did.
I still rebel against the idea, though. XD Dunno, I'm probably overthinking the intent here. Or just that Umino believes in self-actualization through subsuming oneself in the other (see Mayama, also) and I... don't, really.
