In Class Writing: Yamazaki

The fact that Yamazaki had known one of the attackers personally growing up from his high school is most definitely hard for him to comprehend, because he was an individual that seemed to have good morals at the time, but all of that seemingly has changed drastically the moment Yamazaki saw him on television. He began to feel betrayed and realized that anyone could be capable of anything.  Yamazaki had a gut feeling that something was odd about that classmate. He seemed to possess abnormal behaviors but didn't fully pay attention to what his classmate would really be capable of accomplishing. It is very selfish and ignorant for people to pretend as if they don't see someone in agonizing pain, passing them by on the street as if they don't even exist. Yamazaki was evidently sick, and people just passed him by as if he wasn't someone who had feelings like any other human being would. I felt sympathy for Yamazaki when some of the people that worked with him just passed him by as if nothing was really wrong with him, when in reality he was suffocating internally to maintain his focus. However, not everyone is to be trusted in times like during the attack, so it is understandable for people to withdraw or remove themselves for when they see something unusual. A disastrous event such as the sarin attack prevents a helping hand to be passed forward. Even though some individuals who knew Yamazaki had experienced the side effects of sarin, and the fact that they've continuously kept asking him what happened that day, they don't dig in to the fact that Yamazaki may have been brutally traumatized having to relive those moments by telling each person what he'd gone through.
