Your fingers move in a gentle dance, signing about the great pineapple-on-pizza debate, and his laughter lights up his face even under the dim light.

She storms toward you, mouth moving in shouts you can't hear, but you know that anger. Yichan steps in front of you, his back straight, but his hand trembles in yours. What do you do?
