There's the rub. Lori rushes in and gets overbearing since she sees Loan's potential. Loan gets anxious and fucks everything she touches.
Since Loan is a fuckup Lori pushes harder.
Since Lori is pushing harder Loan fails even harder.
And the cycle continuous until Loan goes full NEET for a month and Lori backs off until Loan does something good when no one's looking and it all gets reset to step one.
