Summary

At the five-year anniversary, he says divorce was foreseeable and impulsively accepted because Japan felt boring and YouTube demanded novelty. He now questions leaving: Devon costs nearly £2,000 monthly, forcing delivery work; regret resurfaced in 2021 and 2024, culminating in police trouble. He imagines staying married might have brought a larger Japanese home, pets, and no children, then demonstrates carbonara with air-fried broccoli.

Insight

He repeats a cycle of abandoning the present, idealizing the past, and regretting irreversible change.
