   Summary

   27 year old Shigeo tries to understand his shifting feelings for Reigen. It's a slow burn case study on what it means to have your own emotions undermined for your entire life. It explores agency being removed by ideas of infantilization but also
   what happens when someone spends so much time and effort controlling every aspect of how they're percieved a breaking point is inevitable and when it comes, when there's a taste of unrestrained living the pedulum swings so wildly it threatens to cleave them in twain.
