1 Prologue (1/2)

My name is Hos.h.i.+ Hideyos.h.i.+, my first names in j.a.panese mean star and my last name mean excellence, esteem and good luck.

I was born on St. Patrick's Day.

My name and birthdate always seemed inappropriate because I never felt lucky.

I am a 29-year-old miserable, unhealthy, and overworked software developer.

I am like many other peons work for a large corporation.

I specifically work on mobile development at my job as a senior developer.

Many of my coworkers got sick because of the flu, leaving me and a few others most of the work.

Because of a project deadline approaching, I and a few others have to work into the late night.

I stretched my arms and took a glance at the clock and noticed it getting late and decided to pack up and leave.

As I was leaving, I was thinking about my current situation.

I didn't enjoy what I was doing for a career and regret not pursuing a career as a chef, something I would enjoy.

I had no close friends and felt I should have attempted to get some.

I had no girlfriend or wife waiting for me at home and scorn myself for not reaching out when I had a chance in the past.

I felt trapped, and that it was too late to change anything, that a change now wouldn't make a big difference.

Just as I got outside my workplace, I noticed a couple holding hands walking across the street.

The couple had smiles on their faces, chatting with each other.
