I Called Him Necktie by Milena Michiko Flašar
In a quiet park in Japan, an unlikely friendship blossoms between two lost souls: a young hikikomori, who has withdrawn from society, and a middle-aged salaryman, who has lost his job but continues to dress for work each day. As they share their stories and struggles, they find solace and understanding in each other's company, gradually confronting their fears and rediscovering the beauty of human connection. Through their conversations, they explore themes of loneliness, societal expectations, and the search for meaning in a world that often feels indifferent.
