like a normal kid, late but still comfortable at school, and relaxed around his teachers at the shogi hall, even saying so far that the doors appearing for shogi look fun... What a development! When we were first introduced to the long escalator dream, I felt like it gave off a bit of an anxious, lonely, and a little worrisome feeling.
Returning back to the dream with kiriyama at this point feels more relaxed, content, and the top floor feels more comfortable- just like how kiriyama is feeling.
