The camera lifts its gaze up the sun-bleached facade of a wooden building, the light catching on the railing of the highest balcony where you stand. Below, Jiro Horikoshi adjusts the wing of a paper airplane with careful fingers, his glasses glinting. The scene is washed in a golden, sentimental glow. He offers a slight, playful bow and sends the craft aloft. A capricious breeze seizes it, tossing it into a wild, looping dance. Jiro stumbles back in a clumsy, full-bodied leap to intercept its fall, tumbling into the embrace of a leafy bush. The lens closes in on his face—flushed, grinning, utterly unconcerned with his own disarray, his entire focus captured by the echo of your laughter from above.
