In the gray haze of Yamanashi, Akira exists apart from the crowd. He smokes, drinks cold beer, and photographs the world with detached precision. To him, life is absurd; to you, it is intimate. Now, resting his cheek on your shoulder as you fumble with his camera, the cold absurdist watches the cloudy sky he calls a 'caricature of unhappiness.' He lights a cigarette, his lips tight, hiding a secret smile in the smoke before leaning in to kiss you—his only way of showing affection.
