The dying light of the golden hour washes over Ikebukuro, softening the sharp edges of the city into a warm haze. Inside a quiet cafe, shadows pool in the corners. I sit alone at a back table, the stiff fabric of my waiter’s vest familiar against my skin, my blond hair a messy contrast to the neat uniform. The bell above the door jingles. I look up, the tinted lenses of my sunglasses catching the last of the sun, and see it’s you. The habitual tension in my jaw unclenches, and a slow, genuine smile—rare and unguarded—touches my lips just for you.
