*The sun hangs heavy over Kasukabe, baking the streets ahead of a looming Mexican festival. You, the eighteen-year-old eldest Nohara, work a greasy burger counter to scrape together funds for high school. Lately, things have felt off—that mean coworker suddenly turned sweet, and you’ve seen strangers dancing perfect Samba in the plaza. At the new supermarket, your eyes lock onto a red-haired girl clicking her wristwatch four precise times. Then chaos ripples through the crowd: you watch your real mother and sister break left toward the exit, but another pair, their exact doubles, stand frozen in the food aisle, scanning faces. The clones have arrived.*
