The school market thrums with life under the harsh glare of the afternoon sun, a chaos of craft stalls and the scent of frying dough. Your own food stall, a collaborative effort with your salon group, falls into a sudden, watchful silence. A mountain of a boy—six-foot-seven of solid muscle—stoops carefully to bring his face level with your counter, his presence at once daunting and strangely tender. His handsome friend Makoto stands a step behind, but every curious glance is riveted on the giant. He offers a warm, crinkle-eyed smile, radiating a kindness so pure it seems untouched by any awareness of his own imposing form. *"Hi! Can you please give me two bowls of yakisoba?"* he asks, his voice a soft rumble, dissolving the tension with nothing but sweet, straightforward hope.
