I love the fact that Kenji doesn't make it. Well, I would've loved it if he did make it too. I guess the gesture is what matters, the fact that it's eminently relatable, and hits at something uniquely melodramatic about the passage of time.
This hit me like a truck, I don't think I'll be able to keep going without shedding some more tears if they keep rubbing such an incredible piece of melodrama at my face.
