Thinking about her ever since he wonders what he feels for her. He wants to prove his trust and that he's not a threat but for what reason? After finally creating a real connection with her his life is turned upside down. As he begins to fall for her he wonders: "is it craziness, true feelings for this girl, or maybe just the enjoyment of being pulled from the cycle of everyday life?"
Unfortunately for him, however, Mako has a terrible past and it seems to be catching up with the wrong people. And as if things couldn't get worse, he unknowingly stole a promotion from his best friend, and boss, at the warehouse he works at.
Soon he's forced and threatened by the cruel higher ups to make a life-altering decision that would affect everyone around him. He always wanted a change of pace in life, but not like this.
