Overview
Daniel is spending Saturday alone at his girlfriend's place until 9 PM while she works, appreciating the time to himself in contrast to feeling suffocated when his Korean ex-girlfriend previously worked from home all day.
Daniel addresses criticisms about his trip to Hiroshima and Miyajima, disputing allegations that poking deer fur was painful or that he fed deer rubbish, and explaining that using rear dual cameras rather than front-facing ones improved video quality without a new device.
Daniel refuses to disclose his girlfriend's identity or face to prevent online harassment, citing past instances involving Tomoko where viewers made fake Twitter accounts to sabotage the relationship, though his girlfriend appears from behind and holds hands with him in the Hiroshima video.
Daniel plans to settle into his girlfriend's place and revisit his guesthouse in a few days to retrieve remaining towels, clean, make the bed, finish packing, and collect his $200 deposit.
An opening monologue examines the origins of self-confidence and outlines behaviors connected with it.
