When he hears her mother asking about his income, he decides to compromise, sell his soul to the devil, bow his head to reality, and become a pop keyboard player instead of a jazz pianist.
In order to give her a more stable life, he compromised, and she saw that there was no light in his eyes.
She asked him why he gave up his dream.
He said, I have changed my dream, to be an ordinary keyboard player is my dream.
She felt that he had changed, and he was no longer the one who had a bright eye when he talked about jazz.
He also felt that she had changed. She only liked the poor and down-to-earth self at the time to gain superiority.
He hopes that she can accompany him on tour, and he hopes that the two can be together, but the premise of being together is to compromise with reality and give up dreams.
I can imagine if they didn't break up and she really made a compromise, that would be Sister Widow's "Marriage Story".
