Kunikida walks back home.
Exercise is necessary, especially since he leads a sedentary lifestyle. The stimulation of muscles not only improves his overall physical health, but also his mental health. His notes within his book have recorded several health benefits that would come about if he were to continue with his daily routine.
He also writes of other routines for himself.
In a year, he will get a better job at an elite school.
In five years, his profession will lead him to a wonderful woman. Courtship will ensue.
Six years after, he will be happily married with a child on the way.
Ideal. Perfect. There is no room for errors.
As Kunikida crosses the street, he hears a young man—a law student from the looks of it—talk of the recent kidnappings and reports of mafia activity.
Kunikida clenches his fist.
