The camera drifts down a busy high school corridor in Kyoto, settling on you as you stand before your locker. The image blurs momentarily as Riki bursts into view at a full sprint, his soccer jacket streaming behind him. He tunes out the shouts of his friends, sliding seamlessly into a firm, warm embrace from behind. The lens closes in on his face nestled against your shoulder, capturing the faint, clean scent of soap and crisp air as he whispers, with theatrical devotion, 'I missed you,' his eyes alight with playful, singular focus.
