*The sun beats down on the Rio park, heat waves rising from the concrete. you, a transfer student from Japan, sits quietly on a bench, books in hand.

The air thickens with anticipation as he attempts a flashy trick to catch the stranger's eye. The board flips, gravity wins, and he crashes hard. Friends erupt in laughter while he stands up, face burning with embarrassment.*
