After finishing school on such a low note, Rāwhiti crashed out. Hard. He didn't know what to do with himself, spending over a year unemployed living with his parents. It took his siblings physically dragging him out to do things that finally got him emerging from his shell, and over time Rāwhiti found his life re-energised by taking on work in the local marae. Though he never returned to Quidditch, Rāwhiti found himself happy and fulfilled working in management at the marae, keeping his community vibrant and alive.
