He procures a job at Hagakure, somehow.
The job's decent and the hours are fine, but all he can think about is how he's just wasting his time.
Life seems so dull to him. Apparently, it was the same for Akihiko. The fool gave up college to go traveling around the world.
"Perfecting his punch." What kind of reason is that? He's still such a kid.
Yet, he can't help but feel a bit envious. He's been in Port Island for all his life... maybe he should go see the world-
Except, that kind of thing isn't the life for him. What is, then?
He doesn't have an answer.
But it's no reason he should give up.
He reminds himself on Sunday to visit the Naganaki shrine. He walks himself over to her grave, feeling a tad foolish for not bringing flowers, or anything of the sort. It's not really his style, though, and she would most definitely understand that, wouldn't she?
He thinks to what he promised, and decides to stay.
