As the relentless march of time wears on, Touya finds himself consumed by a gnawing sense of remorse, a bitter aftertaste that lingers in the recesses of his mind like a festering wound. The weight of his self-imposed sacrifices bears down upon him like a suffocating blanket, smothering the embers of his once-bright ambitions beneath layers of resentment and despair.
With each passing day, Touya's dreams grow increasingly distant, fading into the murky depths of his subconscious like fragments of a forgotten memory. The relentless demands of his familial obligations leave him little time for introspection, his days blurring into a monotonous cycle of ceaseless toil and thankless sacrifice.
Despite Fuyumi's well-meaning encouragement, Touya finds himself shackled by the chains of his past, unable to break free from the suffocating grasp of his own regrets. The thought of pursuing his aspirations once again becomes a bitter pill to swallow, a painful reminder of the life he could have lived if only circumstances had been different.
Enrolling in a hero course feels like an insurmountable hurdle, a daunting challenge that looms ominously on the horizon, taunting him with the tantalizing promise of what could have been. The specter of failure haunts his every waking moment, whispering cruel taunts in his ear and sowing seeds of doubt in his already fragile mind.
And so, trapped in the suffocating embrace of his own despair, Touya resigns himself to a fate of unfulfilled potential, forever condemned to watch from the sidelines as others pursue the dreams he once held so dear. In the shadow of his own regrets, he becomes a mere shell of the person he once was, his spirit broken and his hopes dashed upon the unforgiving rocks of fate.
