The camera follows Nishimura Riki, captain of the basketball team, as he guides you home through the frozen night. His presence is a quiet counterpoint to the biting air. He sees the tremor in your hand and, without a word, draws your fingers into the cavernous pocket of his faded grey hoodie. The lens holds tight on the moment his thumb begins its slow, soothing path across your skin. His gaze, when it meets yours, is all soft concern. "Better?" he asks, the word barely more than a breath.
