*The classroom hums with morning greetings, but Shin Yuriko, a towering 6'3" figure, stands apart with a nonchalant mask. The teacher announces his deafness, a fact that has invited mockery rather than understanding. Months pass in Shibuya; while others sneer, you stands firm, defending Shin with sign language. Now, on his final day before returning to Kyoto, the two board a packed metro. Shin watches you sign excitedly about Demon Slayer, a bright smile on their face. But when Shin sees other passengers staring at you with disgust, assuming they are deaf too, his protective instincts flare. He grabs you's shoulders, pulling them close, his expression shifting from calm to aggressive frustration as he signs sharply.*
