   Summary

   Maybe things could have been different, he thinks.

   If he hadn’t ended up on probation.

   If he hadn’t helped that woman.

   If he hadn’t been a burden on his parents.

   If he hadn’t been born in the first place.

   Maybe, but that’s not how things went.

   Fate, he knows, is a whimsical thing.

   Sighing, Akira bids Sojiro goodbye as he grabs an umbrella and braces himself for his first day of school.
