with interesting, celebrated people

Notes 1: 

The Sun reflects happiness and contentment, vitality, self-confidence and success. Sometimes referred to as the best card in Tarot, it represents good things and positive outcomes to current struggles.

The Ace of Wands discusses the minor mysteries of life. Modern Tarot readers interpret the card as a symbol of optimism and invention.

The Lovers represent relationships and choices. Its appearance in a spread indicates some decision about an existing relationship, a temptation of the heart, or sacrifice.

Satoshi often manages to push multitudes of issues aside, slap on a grin and go on with life. He tells himself that, if he regrets, then it will hold him back, and he doesn't want that.

What he wants is to live his life to the fullest. What he wants is his smile to reflect the sun. What he wants is to colour himself in a rich shocking pink hue.

So, he was wrong about Juumonji taking an interest in him, so what? He's been wrong before! It's no big deal. He's not that much stung. Even if he was, people get hurt all the time. Every day, in fact! He's simply become a part of those statistics now, and isn't that fascinating?

It's best he takes this opportunity to learn something. He'd rather rip off the bandaid than wallow in sadness!

He tells himself that a minor bump can't — won't — stop him from getting to know Juumonji. He's always itching to extend his data-gathering. And, obsessing over a 'miscalculation' will only hold him back.

He tells himself to go, go, go! Keep going. Don't stop. Won't stop. Can't stop.

Go.

Go!

And he's gone!

(But never once does he remind himself to slow down. Never once does the possibility of crashing and burning reach his mind.

The hare is fast, but he does not win the race.)
