Sorting Feelings

When things started looking down, Hajime kept pushing on without thinking about where it would lead up. And now, things were finally looking up for him. He had no idea how it would turn out, however, but he lived his usual life while returning to his usual work at construction. Of course, the company was more than elated to have him back despite his young age.

Hajime's reputation had taken a drastic change in school. And with it, he changed his appearance as well. Taking Megumi's advice to cut his bangs so they wouldn't cover his eyes that much, his transformation immediately affected his image in a positive way. Long story short, no one viewed him as a delinquent anymore, and those who did were immediately shut down by the girls who became interested in Hajime.
