I wanted to focus on episode three, "Parting Ways", where Satomi basically takes his frustration that Wada fueled at school out on Kyouji. Kyouji's throat isn't in great shape, which obviously mirrors Satomi's, and the second Satomi sits on the couch, he gives it to his (probably) 30-something student straight.
IT'S YOUR FAULT THAT I'M NOT POPULAR!
