[ that's it; that's the post. i'm sure it has nothing to do with the coincidental timing of japan leaving. ]

a store i work at a lot and theres a song that plays a lot

if youve been to the stores here its kinda similar

[goban]

So you miss it because it's familiar.

We didn't have any stores like these back home.

ya something like that

my dad managed it

I can't imagine trying to explain all of this to one's parents.

[ good thing they won't have to!! thats a pretty nice thing for the time-doesn't-flow at home part of it.]

oh geez i know, rite?

but i think i'd struggle with it if it meant i could see them again. its hard going from having them around to... well, not. im not used to take care of myself like this. to coming home without them there. stuff like that.

How old are you, that you're still so reliant on your parents?

[ to be fair, things were also really different in the sengoku period ]

18.

i wouldve had to learn eventually, just didn't think id need a crash course in it.

[He's learning on the fly, basically. It wasn't that he's wholly dependent on them, but it was definitely not something he was prepared for. Even if he was in college and living on his own, he'd at least have a way to call them if something came up or he needed help.]

[ that's old for the sengoku era, but maybe different places mean different things...]

At least you're not giving up. Have you considered getting a similar job here?
