Because of the way we parted at J's Cafe last time, I thought I might go into some deep soul-searching and maybe even miss Hina a little bit.
The reality was quite different though, because…
I fucking loved it!!!
I felt like this is how a parent must feel when their kid goes on a summer camp or something. Suddenly you have all the time in the world, all the freedom to do whatever you want. Being able to afford absolutely wasting time doing nothing productive felt like a bliss I haven't experienced for years and years.
It was like becoming young again. Staying up all night gaming, waking up past noon, eating ramen for breakfast (is it still breakfast when you eat it after noon?), taking a nap again, going out and getting an ice cream or two, buying tons of snacks, come back home and munch munch while playing games, then fall asleep on the bed while doom scrolling as the sun rises again. Rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat.
