Long Answer

1. When Ja’nae does not stick to the payment plan, Raspberry decides that she needs to steal back the money Ja’nae owes her. This prompts Raspberry to recall a particularly painful memory from her past when she and Momma and were freezing living on the streets, and she concludes by thinking that “you gotta do what you gotta do” regardless of the implications, which sometimes means choosing money over people. Another moment is when Raspberry charges her crush (Sato) for a bag of chips, in response to him complaining that he’s hungry. (Various chapters)

2. He cautions Raspberry that, instead of retaliating against Check and Shoe for robbing her and Momma’s apartment, she should just give them “time” to “make their own lives miserable.” This allows Raspberry to process her anger without getting her in trouble; it breaks the cycle of violence and retaliation.
