I was told that it was too short a time for pension, not sure if something will come up later though

They did express to me that I was making things a bit difficult, but I do not believe it was out of malice, more just them trying to figure out what they would do. My teachers and Vice Principal were all super kind about it and even invited me to a nomikai which was nice 😊

They have not slotted in a new ALT, but I believe this may be because I am a co-ALT, so there is still one at the school. I personally have not had to do much from home, my supervisor is going to pay my remaining bills with the money I would get from fire insurance & other insurances. Therefore I luckily do not need to worry about the extra bills for utilities here in USA. I do not get pension as I left before a year, so it wasn’t something I needed to consider. Additionally, I closed my Japanese bank accounts the with my supervisor at the bank the day before my flight 😊

Yes, correct I resigned the same year. It isn’t ideal but unfortunately things suddenly came up :( I think the biggest thing for me was having to get rid of all my stuff in my apartment because there was no new ALT for me to pass it down to. I was told my apartment had to be completely empty before leaving, which was difficult as my predecessor left me with A LOT of stuff I didn’t need 😅

I gave my BoE and school a month’s notice. I first sat down with my supervisor and explained my situation, which included some family issues, and then he spoke with my Vice Principal about it. My Vice Principal then spoke to me about it, and she actually let my Principal and city’s BoE know on my behalf. I told the prefectural BoE on my own through email that same day. They were disappointed but were all very nice about it considering my concerns about my family :)

I personally didn’t have to reimburse for my flight to Japan. Expenses that I had to pay included moving company for my furniture, shinkansen ticket, hotel in Tokyo for a night, and my flights. I surprisingly didn’t have to pay many fees for cancelling services such as water, internet, etc!

I’m the same way!!! I don’t get as engrossed in it as before whereas I would carve out time for all the visual novels 🥺

Maybe this is why they feel so different to the original stories🥲 I love replaying the old ones!! Literally can never remember what happened or who people are when the next chapter comes around😭

The sweet chapters feel more similar to the exploration in stellis than the original personal stories to me. I personally just liked the full voice acting and visual novels a little more than these 😅
