I saw an FMV to this movie and got intrigued so I came with a vague idea on what is about, Aoyama's workplace is hell and I guess it reflects heavily on work yourself to the bone culture in Japan, but the story and the pacing were perfect, Aoyama's despair and feelings were tangible and real especially that I have been in a similar setting myself not long ago. Suicide wouldn't be too far-off to anyone who feels like there is no escape, lucky for Takeshi that Yamamoto saw that desperation in him and decided he needs to change it, making him reflect back on what matters. Creating hope if you haven't found it is the base moral of the story, extending a helping hand and be kind you never know how you might change their lives. A really solid story with a good ending. To anyone who is struggling as a working adult you do you, even if you had to quit a toxic place, it is never the end.
