>Childhood Friend?
Requires socialization, he's not good at that, he was even worse back in the day.
>Favor?
It would be outside the city, so useless. He didn't grow up here.
>Temple Training?
He specifically didn't get that, it's an important part of the character and how he views the world.
>Shrine Festival?
This one was one of the things I am unsure about, it still feels like the same situation as above even if less important. I can change it if people really hate it, but it feels wrong.

I hate ships, that's not a secret, and I don't write romance, that's also not a secret. I am apparently good at accidentally setting it up and I keep doing it but I would really rather stop. I will probably just take it away at this point but it seemed fitting as the one last connection to his past that he had no control over, nothing romantic about that, if anything it's a hindrance.
