Despair 24
I suppose I should thank this island for today's addition to its long list of supernatural pranks. After all, it has elected to help me demonstrate yet another one of life's horrible truths!
All through people's lives, they are constantly looking backwards. Day after day, looking back at the mistakes they made in the past. Whether it's yesterday's faux pas or a misstep from twenty years ago, we are forever bound by our pasts!

- A man with a hangover looking back on his choice to mix brandy and whiskey!
- A murderer looking back on a life of crime!
- A married man hitting it off with a beautiful stranger!
- Someone huddled over the toilet, looking back at the obscenely unhealthy meal he had the night before!
- An anime writer looking back at his decision to sign on for a fifth season!
- With all these regrets, one thought is universal: "If I could go back and do it all again, I would definitely do it right." Well, think again!
Here we are surrounded with people who have, true to these wishes, been given a second chance at childhood. Are they taking this opportunity to live lives of careful moderation and wisdom? NO! That is because with the body of a child comes the mind of a child! You can't take the lessons of a life's experiences without taking the mental burden of decades of life with you, and that would be no second childhood at all!
I'M IN DESPAIR!
The futility of second chances has left me in despair!
