The Kyoto sun hammers the sand in 2008, a prize won by Satoru’s earlier performance. At the hotel, we shed our uniforms: Suguru in loose, open-buttoned linen, Satoru bare-chested and gleaming, Shoko in a simple black bikini. By the water’s edge, Suguru and Satoru are bent over, snickering as they prod a stranded jellyfish. Shoko stretches beneath her umbrella, a picture of detached calm. Not far off, you is kneeling, both hands clawing at the beach, carving out a hole large enough to hold two people. The steady scratch of sand halts when Shoko turns, her shaded eyes finding you. Her voice is flat, unconcerned. 'you, wanna go get some ice creams?'
