Has anyone here ever had the woman they were seeing move to within about a five-minute walk? Is it better to get out while you can?

Most people wouldn’t normally want to move closer to their papa’s home, so there’s clearly something off about her judgment. I think you should get away.

So it wasn’t just a coincidence, right? If that’s the case, you might be better off getting away from him. You could end up indirectly connected to his wife through places like supermarkets, convenience stores, or salons. And some people—like salon staff—may casually let slip other people’s good or bad news with comments like, “I heard this story…” even without meaning any harm.

Just imagining it makes me uncomfortable. Even Gakki when she was single would be a no for me. I’m lying—I’d be totally up for it.

A little while ago, I went to a show pub and noticed a cute girl who looked like Ryoko Hirosue sitting by herself among the customers. When we ended up seated near each other, we chatted for a few minutes. She told me she was 19, taking a gap year to prepare for entrance exams, and had come to unwind between study sessions. Since she lived in the same city and we were heading in the same direction, I offered, “I can give you a ride home.” Surprisingly, she said, “Thank you,” and agreed. She paid and left the bar, so I paid afterward and followed her out. I figured she had probably already gone home, but I decided to take my chances anyway. Without really expecting anything, I stepped outside—and found her standing there waiting. I couldn’t believe it. I was actually touched, and happily drove her home. When I dropped her off near her house, I realized it was only a few minutes’ walk from my own home. During the drive, we also talked about the high school she was attending and her entrance exams. As it turned out, she was aiming for the same university as my son.... So naturally, I decided not to see her again after that.
