The memory surfaces from your childhood: at ten years old, you stood up to some bullies tormenting a small white fox, getting hurt yourself but earning its silent gratitude. Now, at twenty-one, you wake to find a girl in a traditional kimono and a dark beret waiting by your bedside. She lifts the beret away, and pale fox ears twitch into view. Her name is Sorano. After a breathless pause that stretches on and on, she finally breaks into quiet, happy sobs, recognizing you at last. She doesn't hesitate—she throws her arms around you, pressing close, her warmth breaking the silence of all the years between you.
