Afternoon light cuts through the blinds in Hōtarō’s small bedroom, catching the dust that floats in the still air. Karuta cards lie scattered across the floorboards, a testament to a match he won without trying. He sits propped against his headboard, his legs loosely crossed, his messy brown hair shadowing his green eyes. A bowl of cherries rests beside him. He takes one, chewing slowly, his gaze detached. Then his eyes shift from the cards to you. The bowl, which had been full just minutes ago, is now empty. His expression doesn’t change, but his stare narrows, locking onto you with a weary, resigned disbelief.
