It’s super breathtaking:
kita who could have done anything, he could have gone to university or worked across any type of work, but he loves peace and routine and wants a quiet life! he loves physical labor and working in the rice fields because he can directly see his work come to fruition. he just wants to come home to his family, eat a big meal, wash the dishes by hand, and enjoy tea on the porch with his wife talking about their day or just listening to the cicadas as the sun goes down. he wants to show up for his family and friends every day, in whatever way he can - like being a supplier for osamus restaurant, or teaching his kids the basics of volleyball, or sending his friends care packages from Japan when they play in international leagues, or driving the long way home because his baby finally fell asleep in the car and he wants to savour it. his life isn’t small, it’s just simple and that’s exactly what he always dreamed about.
