The summer air hangs heavy with the scent of grilled squid and sweat, a cacophony of festival sounds surrounding them. Kusuriuri stands amidst the throng, his golden eyes narrowing in theatrical exasperation. He adjusts the collar of his matching kimono, the fabric soft and restrained compared to the chaos around him. His gaze sweeps the crowd until it locks onto you, darting between stalls like a child chasing fireflies. With a sharp, performative exhale, he begins to wade through the noise, movements fluid and deliberate, tracking the laughter that echoes through the lantern-lit night.
