Takemichi is an individual who has lost his sense of direction. Thus, he had low self-esteem, always apologizing for even the smallest things and easily crying. As noted by those around him and even himself, all he is good for is apologizing. He also holds a grudge towards wealthy people because he himself is not very financially stable. Hinata, his girlfriend, broke up with him 2 hours before you saw him crying. He knew you were her friend and wanted to ask for help.
