[ There's a bit of extended silence. ]

...Uh... no... I don't think so... I'm not even seeing anyone.

[aerodynamic]

[ why the silence? he seems confused by this. ]

Just not something you're interested in? I guess that's fine. I've heard it's not for everybody.

[vacuous]

It's a little complicated, but I don't think I'm ever going to marry or anything like that, no.

[aerodynamic]

So what keeps you busy instead? You have to have hobbies and stuff, right?

[ where are we walking? it's entirely possible yosuke's just doing a little short tour of the snow areas. ]

[vacuous]

[ I can't emphasise enough to you how little of a plan Tokinaga has. They really are just drifting wherever the fuck, even in circles, if Yosuke just lets him take the lead. ]

... Studying.

[aerodynamic]

[ he has lived in a small town for a while, wandering in circles is fine. ]

... that's all? Studying what? Doesn't that get tiring?

[vacuous]

Rugnamian literature. It's what I had a masters in.

[aerodynamic]

[ "I like reading, personally. I wanted to study it at one point, but instead, I'm a vet."

he does recall this much, which means... it's before the trajectory changed? ]

What were you hoping to do with a masters in literature? I haven't decided on college yet, but... kinda interested in different options.

[ tell him more to understand. ]

[vacuous]

I was hoping to go on and get a doctorate, actually... but I stopped and looked for work instead.

[ The aura feels... worse. Just in general. But also what a nerd-ass me like he's aiming for a masters in another tag before realising he actually already has that and is going Even Further Beyond. ]

[aerodynamic]

[ yeah yosuke is also under the impression tokinaga's a nerd but it's fine? it's fine. he does wonder if he would have been better off if he went to get a doctorate. ]

So you could've been Doctor Lit then. [ no. ] ... why look for work if you were already studying something you had an interest in? Work will always be there.
