Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You Chapter 56

Sasaki and Yamada share a quiet smoke break behind the supermarket, continuing their conversation about personal goals and past dreams. Sasaki reflects on how his corporate career gradually overshadowed his former aspirations, admitting that his younger self would likely look at him with resentment. Yamada suggests framing the discussion as though it concerns a friend to ease the tension, leading to a thoughtful exchange about lost ambitions and the fear of being perceived differently by others. As they smoke, Sasaki expresses gratitude for Yamada's presence and perspective, while Yamada quietly contemplates the emotional impact they have on each other.
