Tokyo - take it or leave it /Ch.6 When passions run high

When passions run high):

Sometimes you can hate this place so much that the only thought pulsating in your exhausted brain is to head for the airport and don't look back. Some have done just that. Others cooled off and persevered longer, much longer than it was planned.
Some days you can physically feel how this giant faceless mass is slowly strangling you, sucking the last air out of your lungs, like a rolling pin flattening you into something you are not and never will be. 
The constant struggle is excruciating. It's never completely over and it is hanging somewhere close waiting to wager another war that one day only one of us is going to win. I wonder what it would look like. 
Emotions dulled up by months and years of identical copying are suddenly sharp like razors and ready to lock in the final battle of whims. It's not a pretty picture but it surely tests what you're made of.

You raise your imaginary sword and plunge into the battle like a little Hobbit against the dark forces of Mordor.
