I was under the impression that for most characters this was their last semester in school and by the summer they would be searching for full-time jobs in their fields? Even if that isn't the case, with the whole Youkai Watch business, Renzo would probably forgo a summer job in favor of taking requests or just trying to discover more.

As for the little aspirations, Renzo doesn't have any particularly grand dreams. His parents don't really push him because he isn't squandering his potential. There isn't anything wrong with just being an architect.

And yeah, he's not going to be randomly falling asleep out of the blue.

I did want to just make sure, but is the setting Japan, US, or not particularly important?
