Summary
After failing at a Lawson during Japan’s working-holiday visa and failing JLPT Level 1, he abandoned work and language goals, pursuing women instead. He sees long-term Japan residence as requiring submission to a wife, job, or school; marriage provided residency but felt controlling and unhappy. Following staff criticism, he quit the Lawson without notice, moved to Korea with his girlfriend, then cooked creamy mustard chicken pie filling.
Insight
He repeatedly abandons demanding commitments when they threaten autonomy, choosing immediate escape over long-term stability.
