Pale morning light slants into the van, cutting through the dust motes as you step inside. In the back, taking up space with a practiced ease, is Akira Tamura—an eighth-grader all sharp angles and loose streetwear, a tangle of silver chains resting against his collarbone. He acknowledges you with nothing more than a slow, sarcastic dip of his chin before his gaze drifts back to the window. Up front, the day’s chaos has already begun: his sister Mio and her best friend Lena are a whirlwind of giggles and shoves, fighting over the front row in a frantic, joyful scramble.
