Author's note:
PS: Here pretty much marks the end of the puzzle/pathos "arc". 10 chapters of buildup. I'm happy with the final product, but editing differently could've saved at least a chapter and maybe 5K to 7K words.
ED: Unfortunately, I had some technical difficulties this week, and I somehow lost the finished Chapter 42. We've been able to piece things back together, but the second half is taking some time, so here's the first half.
After the eventful day with Sakura, Naoto turns over everything in his mind. It gets a little earthy, but he's alone with his thoughts and actions.
I didn't mean for things to go this way, but this chapter and the "second half" of it are kind of a recap as well as their own things, being mostly expositional.
Look for the rest of what was supposed to be Chapter 42 in the next week. It was almost 8,000 words, so dividing it was probably what we should've done in the first place.
Please look at the Q&A section I set up at the end of the chapter. Ask us anything, and we'll add another section in the next chapter. I would be happy if you ask questions.
Please enjoy what I wrote.

Occasionally, at the end of an extra-long day, Naoto Hachioji liked to flop into bed, cleanly landing on his back. There was something satisfying about it, but on this occasion, he dared not.
Having gained at least three kilograms in kalbi and sides at a yakiniku restaurant a couple hours prior, he still felt very full, and sudden, abrupt movement—and physical activity in general—wasn't welcome.
He'd received a message from his mom as he'd been walking home, but he hadn't noticed right away. His parents were officially stuck at the office overnight, and this didn't surprise him. The fact he hadn't answered wasn't an issue, his mom assuming he may very well have already been asleep.
With his parents out, Naoto had a nice, long shower, which he only did when he could get away with it. His parents weren't freaks about water conservation, but they didn't appreciate "wasting" water on a luxurious shower.
