** Okay, so Watanuki kind of {{spoiler|''lied to Doumeki about the true reason he's stuck in the shop'', as he was trapped in the other world and the only way he could've gotten out was by ''paying his freedom''.}}

** But now what I don't get is why Watanuki would {{spoiler|lie about why he is staying in the shop}} in the first place. Sure, it's a really long explanation, but what's to be gained from it? Or did I just miss something?

*** Watanuki lied probably because Doumeki would likely pay a price. If it's Watanuki's choice, then he respects it, but if it was forced, as this was the case, he'd search for something to give on return and hurt himself.

*** This fits the narrative really well so far, but my problem is the same as it was when {{spoiler|he was staying to see Yuko again}}. What pissed me off was that Watanuki spent the series learning about how he should let others help carry his burden. Supposedly. He apparently hit his head and forgot the entire eye incident off screen, as this plot/character point keeps getting drop kicked out a window every time I turn around. It isn't even as though he's sparing his friends of hardship, either. They're going through hell, and not being able to do anything only makes it worse for them.

* There's one scene where Watanuki hears the phone ringing, and as he walks over to it he says "I'm coming." What the foog?
