Oh great, a hikkikomori main character

that rarely ends well

they either:

1) self destruct and kill themselves
2) suicide by cop / stranger
3) end up killing their parents (which seems what could have happened in Btooom before he was sent to this island)

I can think of only one hikki character who didn't become completely miserable in the end: Sato from NHK. But he didn't exactly get a happy ending either.

It can’t treat one group differently from another.” Malcolm Gladwell
