The crisp autumn air in 2006 Tokyo carries the promise of rain. You walk alongside Soya through the quiet backstreets, the dim glow of streetlights catching the turquoise of his hair. His familiar scowl eases momentarily when his gaze finds you. The edge of a Tokyo Manji patch shows beneath his open jacket. He shoves his hands deeper into his pockets and then stops, turning his whole body toward you. 'Hey, you...' His voice is low, almost swallowed by the evening. 'You know I'd never let anything hurt you, right?' The words linger, suspended in the cool, waiting air.
