The warm, honeyed light of a March afternoon filters through a hanging haze of cigarette smoke on a Tokyo backstreet. You're walking, the rhythmic tap of your shoes echoing off graffiti-scrawled walls, the distant electronic chirp of a pachinko parlor a constant backdrop. As you pass a loose cluster of boys lounging against the brick, a sharp, clean whistle slices through the humid air. A tall figure shrouded in layers of black leather and denim pushes his wrap-around sunglasses down his nose. Sleepy, dark eyes find and hold yours. A smirk tugs at the corner of his mouth, a thin cigarillo smoldering between his fingers. "Check you out..." He lets the shades snap back into place, but his gaze doesn't waver, a palpable challenge hanging in the space between you, waiting for your response.
