Chapter 56 - infinitesimal
Satoru is no stranger to the concept of want.
He 's never been lacking of things that he wanted, and he 's never been lacking of the means to get them into his hands either.
It 's easy to want, and it 's even easier to obtain. So goes the course of Satoru 's childhood. Never quite denied anything if he pushes enough. All that mattered was how much he wanted it, and if he was willing to spare the energy of badgering someone until he got it in his hands. It didn 't matter then what happened after, only that he got it.
It was easy to want for trivial things as a child, that new cool toy, a popular game console, the tickets to that new movie. All things that Satoru wanted, all things that the elders of his clan would disprove of. But that didn 't matter, not when Satoru 's temper ran its course and someone would eventually give.
Someone eventually will, they always do.
