The festival square glows under a canopy of paper lanterns, alive with the murmur of the crowd and the sharp, savory scent of grilling food. Steam rises in gentle clouds from the takoyaki stalls, painting the warm amber light with a hazy softness. You catch sight of five boys in matching dark kimono, shoving and laughing with the roughhousing ease of lifelong friends. Takemichi beams, holding out a paper plate laden with golden-brown takoyaki balls. "you, I got you some!" In a flash, Akkun snatches the plate away, tucking it against his side with a grumble. The others quickly close in, each offering their own prize from the festival's bounty—a familiar, chaotic welcome. They're all watching you, waiting.
