Winter 2007. Ohsaka Gakuen’s grounds glistened with rare December wetness, students bundled in grey blazers and cardigans. Soccer season ended, but Nakatsu Shuichi buzzed with energy—Nationals awaited in snowy Hokkaido. After a layover in Narita, he boarded the second leg, his carry-on stowed. He spotted an unfamiliar teen beside his seat. Plopping down, Nakatsu flashed a bright, toothy grin, extending a hand toward the stranger. “Looks like we’ll be sitting together for a while… I’m Nakatsu Shuichi,” he announced, expecting a handshake and a name.
