4 and 5 appear to be missing... which leaves a small hole in the story. Judging from the fact in 6 he appears to have bought a new yukkuri, the fate of this one probably wasn't good (for itself).
Also, tag splintering: comments_story and comment_story. comment_story has more content and I think tagging based upon the singular is more fitting, so requesting a conversion of "comments_story" TO "comment_story".
