In 2011, he worked 26 hours weekly at a convenience store and two Friday hours at an izakaya. Sex until 2 a.m., a 5 a.m. wake-up, long train commute, language difficulties, and repeated errors left him exhausted. After criticism from customers, coworkers, and the owner’s sister, he quit without notice; a later interview provoked furious rejection.

He underestimates routine work, reacts defensively to criticism, and exits abruptly rather than communicating.
