So without going in depth.
Last year I visited a girl who retired... well the next day. Wasn't me I swear!
Anyways thanks to that I went from planning on graduating and being a NEET to opening a branch of my business in Japan, working on a visa, dating for the first time in literally a decade, (quick schedule but the matchmaker was good and we both will be "working" good jobs- just me running a business and her working a job).
I'll always be sad I didn't get to see Mikan again. But she unironically changed my life. All it took was her calling me handsome and saying a few other things- which I know she said to everyone, and I even told her she didn't have to lie, but it really lit a fire under me and made me a better person.
I really owe that woman alot, I hope wherever she is and whatever she's doing she is nothing but successful, happy, and has a fantastic life.
It's perhaps (not) cliche to say but it changed me life.
Amusingly the fan favorite Moe- than at Hisyo- had the opposite effect because it was just so clear how much she was faking it made me pretty demoralized. But Mikan sold the illusion and made me realize I needed to work to have the "reality" if I ever wanted a happy life settled down with someone and settled in Japan.
