@user6874378099: he stopped trying because caring felt like too much work Houtarou Oreki lived by one simple rule: if he didn’t have to do something, he wouldn’t. He avoided unnecessary effort and tried to keep his life as quiet and simple as possible. People saw him as lazy and uninterested. But underneath that attitude was someone who had convinced himself that getting too involved in things only made life harder. He rarely showed excitement, rarely explained what he was feeling, and often acted like nothing really mattered to him. Then Chitanda came into his life and slowly pulled him out of the comfortable distance he had created around himself. Oreki didn’t suddenly become a completely different person. He just started realizing that maybe life was worth putting effort into sometimes. Sometimes you don’t realize how disconnected you’ve become until someone gives you a reason to care again. #hyouka #hyouka #anime #sad #fyp
