July 17, Monday.
The morning alarm didn't go off.
Today is the third Monday of July, and in Japan, it's Marine Day, a holiday set aside to express gratitude for the ocean's bounty.
When it comes to public relations, Japan is undoubtedly world-class. The reality of their actions is less important. As long as the PR is effective, foreigners perceive Japan as a grateful nation and people. Their main strategy is to deceive whomever they can.
Aozawa turned over in bed.
A slight movement woke him. His internal biological clock wouldn't allow him to sleep in, especially after going to bed early.

He got up and strolled out, completely at ease.
