[Having a single obstacle like this, one that everybody else doesn't even need to worry about, a problem that normal people never have...yes, it's certainly something of a burden on one's self-esteem, and Shizuo's hardly an exception. It's difficult and isolating and--at least prior to arriving here--Shizuo has always figured it's an issue with circumstances entirely unique to himself.
