Summary

At 28, he rejects moving out: privacy is sufficient, independence offers little, and living alone could worsen loneliness. Rent would consume Japan money and reduce mobility; he helps with groceries and chores, while parents neither pressure nor charge him. He would leave for partnership or Japanese marriage; his girlfriend cares for parents, they have not met, then he grills sandwiches.

Insight

Home remains his secure base, balancing autonomy ideals with social and financial dependence.
