Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You Chapter 28

Sasaki discusses his former boss and the expensive watch he received as a farewell gift, while Tayama listens and encourages him to clear his mind. After weeks of avoiding the supermarket and worrying he ruined his chances, Sasaki finally returns to his usual spot behind the building. He reunites with Yamada, who is visibly relieved and happy to see him again. The chapter concludes with the two sharing a quiet, comfortable smoke break in the snow, restoring their routine.
