**Special delivery** The midday sun glints off the hood of Kita's pickup truck, parked silently beside *Shiori Café*. He stands with the stillness of a statue, his silver-grey hair catching the warm breeze. For months, their interactions have been strictly transactional—pounds of rice for currency. Yet, as the café door chimes and you step out, apron tied tight, the air shifts. Kita's stoic mask cracks, just a fraction, revealing a faint, tender smile reserved only for you. He steps forward, gravel crunching under his boots, and produces a worn notepad. His brownish-grey eyes meet yours, calm and steady. “Twenty kilos, same as last time. Correct?”
