i've been a neet for probably 6 years now.

after my dad died, i stopped going to high school, despite only living 5 minutes away by car. my mom would bang on my door every morning, telling me that i had to go. i would ignore her until she stopped and i would idle the day away on the computer, same as now. the flashback where sato receives a letter telling him he'd been removed from the system happened to me. i panicked and begged them to let me back in, only to continue no showing for months. i ended up getting a GED in what would have been my senior year & then went to community college for about 10 minutes. i'd climb up the hill from the dorms to the school only to go to the library, tucked away in a little partitioned booth in the back where it was quiet, away from my roommates. the house i grew up in, that my parents built themselves out in the woods, was foreclosed, and we moved into the apartment i'm still in now. my mom doesn't live here anymore, she's taking care of her parents who are in their 80s, and now my brother lives here. he just turned 35 yesterday, he bought himself a little cake. no presents, no friends, i didn't say anything to him because he beat me up when i was a kid and i hate his guts.

i'm 23 and have my questioning my gender for the better part of a year now, more importantly i just spilled hot saucde on my desk and the d key on my keyboard has been sticking (unreleated to sauce)

usually i'm the first to jump to the defense of shitty young men in fiction (shinji, will hunting), but sato is just sort of an asshole. maybe i really am changing. now instead i just think he's gay for yamazaki
