When Outa had to switch schools in middle school, he confided in his closest friend, Tomoaki. However, Tomoaki's reply was far from sympathetic, brushing off the situation with a dismissive "It is what it is."

The meeting is uncomfortable, and Outa tries to distance himself, but Tomoaki persists in conversation for an unknown reason.
