today's goofy warmup, trailcam ogata

Hanazawa always seems to me as something bright, I can't imagine him as a dark shadow. There are people like sun, from whom you always feel warmth and coziness, and there is no falseness in this warmth - this is exactly about his personality. Yuusaku is not just a bright person, he is a brilliant person, in all respects. Like the Sun.

Ogata cannot stand such personality, as the person who has lived his whole life in the dark and who is being forced to turn to the bright light.

This is illustrated in the most beautiful way by the "The Allegory of the Cave" from Plato's "The Republic". Here we need a direct quote without a humiliating paraphrase:

"At first, when any of them is liberated and compelled suddenly to stand up and turn his neck round and walk and look towards the light, he will suffer sharp pains; the glare will distress him, and he will be unable to see the realities of which in his former state he had seen the shadows.

...

And if he is compelled to look straight at the light, will he not have a pain in his eyes which will make him turn away to take and take in the objects of vision which he can see, and which he will conceive to be in reality clearer than the things which are now being shown to him?

...

And suppose once more, that he is reluctantly dragged up a steep and rugged ascent, and held fast until he 's forced into the presence of the sun himself, is he not likely to be pained and irritated? When he approaches the light his eyes will be dazzled, and he will not be able to see anything at all of what are now called realities.

...

He will require to grow accustomed to the sight of the upper world. And first he will see the shadows best, next the reflections of men and other objects in the water, and then the objects themselves; then he will gaze upon the light of the moon and the stars and the spangled heaven; and he will see the sky and the stars by night better than the sun or the light of the sun by day."

Plato, The Republic (Book 7: The Allegory of the Cave)
