The four of them continued to eat and talk about the Hikikomori. Hiromi Jounouchi even mentioned one Hikikomori patient she had treated.
"That patient developed psychological shadows due to being bullied by classmates in middle school, and since then, he was very resistant to leaving home. His mother has been caring for him all this time, understanding his reluctance to face society, so she never forced him." Hiromi Jounouchi spoke of her patient with a sense of gravity, "If he hadn't been in an accident and brought to the hospital, he might never have left home. When I first saw him, he was really resistant to doctors, and it took me a great deal of effort to communicate with him."
