Arata Kaizaki, 27 years old, unemployed

SFX: GRIP
Arata: W…
Arata: Why is that the first thing you notice?!
Arata: Well, you see…
Arata: ...I felt like the direction of the company was different from mine.
Arata: I was looking for another workplace that I can utilize my full potential…
Arata: ...so I’ve decided to depart at early stage!

Arata: Quick decision making and action are some of my strength.
Arata: Because of it, I am here today to talk to you.
Arata: I could honestly say that it was a great decision now.
Arata: I’m glad that I have moved on at that time.

ReLIFE Experiment Report

March 1st

I have got in cotact with Subject No. 002, Akira Kaizaki.


Letter: We’ve reviewed your background and experience and have decided to proceed with other candidates who meet our needs more closely at this time.
Letter: We’ve hereby return your resume that you’ve submitted at the time of application.

Arata: I thought for sure that I’ve made the last round.
SFX: Squeeze
Arata: All that anticipation for nothing.

Arata: Why do you ask me things like why I only worked in my first company for 3 months?
SFX: Gshh Gshh Gshh
Arata: It’s because it wasn’t right for me! What’s wrong with quitting it and moving on?!

Arata: Man, I really want to just erase that part of my resume.
Arata: Sigh
Arata: When I was little, I thought of growing up as just college, graduate, get a job, start working, and get married when I’m about 25.
Arata: ...or that’s what I thought.

Arata: But…
Arata: ...what is wrong with me?!
Caption: Unemployeed
Caption: 6 years in college + Grad School = Present

Arata: I’d never dreamed of having a future like this.
SFX: Sigh

Arata: It’s been 3 months.

Arata: If I’m still looking for a job now, I don’t think I’ll ever get any.
SFX: Huhuhu…
SFX: Hehe…
Arata: I’d be working part time job next year for sure.

Phone: Mom

Arata: Ack!
Arata: Oh, that’s right…
Arata: ...I’ve already told her that I’ll be hearing back the result today.
Arata: I’ve gone to the final round! It’ll be all decided then.

SFX: Beep
Arata: Hello?
Mom: How was it? The result of the last round I mean!

SFX: *Echo*

Arata: I knew it was about taht.
Arata: You don’t have to yell.
Momo: Because you haven’t called me, so I was just curious.

Arata: I didn’t make it.

Mom: Huh?!

Mom: But you’ve said that it’s pretty much decided. What happened?
Arata: I don’t know. But rejection is a rejection.

Mom: For real.
SFX: Grrr
Arata: What do you mean “for real”?

Mom: Well, I feel bad giving you more bad news…
Arata: What?
Arata: What else could be a bad news?

Mom: We’re gonna stop your funding starting next year.

Arata: Huh?!
SFX: WOW
Mom: Don’t yell at me!
Arata: You’re the one who was screaming when you called.

Arata: Wait, what? Why?
Arata: Why all the sudden.
Mom: Because you may be a new glad, but you already are 27!
SFX: UGH.

Mom: Why should any parents support a 27 years old grown-ass man?
Arata: Don’t call me an grown-ass man!
Arata: I’m still young! And I’m working too!

Mom: Maybe it’s okay if you are working towards your dreams and goals…
Mom: ...but you are not even doing that.
Mom: So why don’t you just come back home?

Mom: Do you have any reasons that you have to stay?
Arata: ...No, but…

Arata: ...I’ve told you when I left there…
Arata: ...that I don’t want to live there any more.

Arata: I’m not going back.

Mom: That’s fine.

Mom: It’s your life. You should live however you want.
SFX: Raaah
Arata: Mom!

Mom: But it’s your fault if you ended up dead in the gutter.
SFX: What?!
Arata: ...Dead?!

Arata: Why do you say things like that?!
Mom: If you don’t want to die, come home and help your father with fishing.

Mom: Well…
Mom: That’s it from me!
Arata: Hey!
Arata: Just wait a second…

Arata: …!
