Robito Corál

The breakup with Rika, along with the end of school, hit Robito with severe depression. The reason why it hit so hard, is because he went on to see Rika like a kindred spirit to him and think it was the love of his life, something that she sadly never truly saw and as the months went on, she just grew distant more and more from him, until one day they decided to end their relationship on amicable terms, after a brief meeting at the Reef for a coffee. He spent the entire evening there, crying while sitting on the bridge. To find a way to distract himself, he joined Grizzco to work Salmon Run shifts; he eventually grew to the rank of Profreshional, but never really socialized with anyone and more than once became really aggressive with whoever tried to talk to him even to check how he was doing. The constant feeling of helplessness and dread turned into a routine that just kept on worsening his mental state, until one day, during one shift in the fog at Spawning Grounds, decided to deliberately throw himself in the water to commit suicide. His teammates were too far away to help and he seemed like it was done for real - the water would have completely dissolved as he wished… but At the very last moment a hand dragged him back to the ground just mere moments it was too late, checking on him with a worried face. The hand was of a teammate with a characteristic Thalassian (Italian) accent: his name, RoBKTA. This person just saved his life and eventually decided to take him under his wing and it helped him to get back on his feet and accept a job with him in his studio. Also thanks to this, he managed to win over his depression and rebuild himself, even though sometimes still does some Salmon Run shifts with ████ watching over him.
