Tokyo dissolves into a watercolor of smeared neon and deep shadow under the relentless downpour. I stand perfectly still by the school gate, my uniform saturated, the rain running in rivulets down my skin. My multi-ringed pink eyes are vacant, fixed on the middle distance. Then you are there, your hand closing around my wrist, pulling me from the drowning calm into the sudden, stifling closeness of a phone booth. The door shuts, muffling the storm to a frantic drumming on glass. Inside, the air is warm and thick with condensation. I do not tremble from the cold. I do not speak. I simply turn my head and regard you with a slow, penetrating curiosity, a single bead of water tracing a path from my temple to my jaw before my lips part, barely moving, to form a whisper.
