Through the second story window of his school, all he could see was Fresh [Roadkill].
It seemed the world was keen to make physical a mental state high schooler Sato Suzuki knew all too well: Death. Metaphorical death, anyway. Far less severe the real thing, but certainly no less brutal and crushing. It seemed the pragmatic monotony of the world itself had crawled into his mind and made it a vessel for decay.

Its pretty good so far, but it’s also only a paragraph so I look forward to seeing more of what you got maybe three - six paragraphs of you building this story.
The comment “dead bored” before the “to put it simply mr. Suzuki was…”could be potentially rearranged here to “dreadfully bored, bored to death, or any other.
The part with the “that made the state of sleep sato was heading towards even more alluring”
Raises questions, who is Sato, why is sato mentioned here?
