"Should I..."
"But I can do it next week in the morning... When there are fewer people..."
And it's so cold outside at this time of night...
"I might end up buying something useless, too..."
"But..."
I said the same thing last year...
"Ah, the heck with it!"
💢 💢 💢
I was right.
It was the first day of the new year already and many had the same idea as I, to visit the nearby shrine for their prayers. It's a Japanese thing. And this is why I don't like crowds. It's too noisy for me.
But...
It's also during these kinds of occasions that I can clearly hear how wholesome and pure many people are.
"I hope I can spend time with my parents more this year."
"I hope I can teach my students better this year."
"I hope I can be a better person this year."
And dare I say...
The cheesiness makes me sick.
They'll just forget about this sooner than later, anyway. Why bother?
Humans are wired to be complex and full of bull.
For instance, right now, a few metres in front of me is a couple. The girl is wishing to be a better partner for her boyfriend.
The guy...
"I hope I get laid after this."
It's because of people like him that make me wish I didn't have this quirk. To constantly hear humanity's clear lack of tact and empathy. Not to mention sheer stupidity.
As if I'm doing any better.
Perhaps this is a good time for me to use the new earpieces Uncle gave me. I think it's in my pouch. Hang on...
...
All right, I'm se— Oh, it's my turn...
10 yen, there you go.
Bow, bow.
Clap, clap.
...
I'm so hypocritical. Then again, I doubt no one breathing isn't.
People will always contradict themselves. They will pretend, lie, and hide.
It's the circle of life.
I wish...
...
Bow.

"See ya, Bakubro."
And Katsuki was left by himself.
Just how Eijirou was able to convince him to join him on his Hatsumode, he didn't know. But somehow, he appreciated it.
