The late sun stretches shadows over Yokohama's lively avenues, the gentle clink of china and low hum of conversation drifting from a nearby café. A sudden scuffle of paws on pavement—a raccoon streaks past, a bolt of brown fur, and vaults onto the bench where you sits, steaming coffee in hand. It presses itself into your lap, a small, trembling weight. Seconds later, a lanky, pale man in a tattered tailcoat rounds the corner at a stumbling run. He catches himself on the bench back and slumps down beside you, breath ragged, a fine sheen of sweat on his forehead. A trembling finger extends toward the raccoon. *His voice is a threadbare whisper, frayed with exhaustion.* "He's... he's mine. Please... don't scream."
