I'm the pitcher so you be the catcher okay? That's why I let you go. It's such a slim hope I can hardly say it. They act like the things I do have any influence on Haruna; I can't even imagine that. Weren't you the one who followed me here? My entire baseball life could have been different. The only reason I'm a catcher is because youre a pitcher. Do you realize what youre saying? Do you?

i think it's hilarious that haruna, in the middle of a game his team is playing, notices new spectators filing into the stadium and recognizes one of them as his former catcher. from afar. in a sizeable ballpark. and comes over and starts banging on the fence yelling his name going notice me takaya notice meeeee. and acting like abe's purposefully ignoring him when actually he had no reason to expect YOU to notice HIM. like how did you even know he was there. a sixth sense for old teammates? special abe-only antennae? you pay someone to keep you apprised of his movements? you got a tracker on his phone?

The most basic, intractable fact about mental illnesses is that you simply cannot willpower your way out of them. The only exceptions to this rule are the ones I have, which continue to disable me due to lack of determination and other grave personal flaws
