...That was a quick seven days. Might as well have just written him spending one night there if all we were going to see were the beginning and end of the visit.
He really is a fairly static character, as is the case for so many of these aloof, can't-be-bothered, who-needs-friends-anyway protagonists. That's not the same as saying he isn't a fully realized character, but he doesn't grow in meaningful ways from who he is at the start of the story.

So it's actually four years after they got together, huh? Because she died two years later, and this is the two-year anniversary of her death and Chika's birth.
