Raku had now been a member of Kumogakure for a few years now, since the fall of his home, he wasn't sure he'd ever feel like himself again. Today was one of those days where he just couldn't stop thinking about the past, wishing he could have done something, wishing things had turned out differently than they had. But he could think about it all he wanted, and things would never change. Sitting inside for the afternoon after finishing his training was not doing him any good. He had originally planned to just relax inside, but it was stifling and he needed a breather. Deciding to go out for a walk around the village was probably the best option for this as it didn't require him to go very far, but still allowed him to inhale that fresh air into his lungs, get his blood circulating and his hopefully even out his heart beat.
Stepping out into the fresh air of the afternoon, the sun was beating down high in the sky, and a slight breeze rolled through the air. Closing his eyes for a moment, Raku took in a deep inhale, holding the breathe for a moment, and exhaling and opening his eyes in the same moment. Clothed in only his training clothes, and his equipment still attached, he began walking away from his house towards the village. He lived on the outskirts of the village in a less populated section, wanting a little piece and quiet, so he decided to walk along the outskirts so as to avoid too much human contact today, wanting to just take a slight stroll.
Even though he had been here for a few years now, Raku had yet to really make any friends, or do much other than his basic duties as a shinobi. It was probably because he hadn't really tried at all. The past few years had been rough on him, and he wasn't really an outgoing person, so he spent most of his time to himself, doing solo missions and training by himself, cooking at home alone, etc. He was sort of a loner type. It's not that he didn't like people, he just hadn't felt like he should bother really putting himself out there like that, the thought of caring for something again and losing it like he had with his home just scared him, and stopped him from getting close to people or things for that very reason.
After walking for about thirty minutes, the anxious feelings had subsided and he had decided it was time to head home for the evening, and relax some more, maybe train a bit more before he decided to go to sleep for the night. Today wasn't a particularly productive day for him, but it had exhausted his mind a bit from thinking so much, so it would definitely be a good night's sleep tonight.
