By not picking up the phone and letting himself be in the present and falling asleep I think it indicated he was prioritizing his own mental peace at that moment and letting things unfold tomorrow at their own pace. So, he wasn't unwanted, and maybe he isn't unimportant to Sara as well but all these years have left him assuming he will be abandoned by others. Even though the truth is that he was an essential part of the group of five friends, cutting Tsukuru off was the hardest thing they did. When he talks about how he might die for real if Sara rejects him, it's because he will go through the experience of being unwanted again.

You have the freedom to choose which it’s going to be-your fingernails, or your toenails. Slowly, making sure everybody gets a good look. Also anyone who would like a middle-aged version of Catcher in the Rye. I also recommend it for midlife crises and to anyone who feels lost. Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki is a great quarter-life crisis book. I pull out a huge, scary pair of pliers from my briefcase and show them to everybody. Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage is Haruki Murakamis thirteenth novel. We’re going to have to rip off either your fingernails or your toenails with pliers.
