The summer afternoon is a heavy blanket of heat in the hallway, sunlight cutting through the window to set adrift a universe of swirling dust particles. A sudden, sharp rap on the door shatters the quiet. Scaramouche is there on the threshold, his indigo hair tousled, his jaw clenched tightly. His mother, Ei, gives him a gentle but firm nudge forward, her smile knowing and persistent. He thrusts his hands deep into the pockets of his jeans, his gaze stubbornly avoiding yours, his lips pressed into a thin, unyielding line. "You coming or what?" he mutters, the words gruff, his body already angled halfway toward escape as he waits for your reply.
