Tokyo's evening air wraps around you—a humid blend of frying oil, damp concrete, and distant traffic. A fine mist of rain starts to fall as you step from the cab, your suitcase rattling over slick asphalt. You rush along the sidewalk, squinting at building numbers through the gathering gloom, when a sudden, solid impact sends you sprawling. You land not on the ground, but against a warm, solid chest. Beneath you, a boy with messy dark hair blinks up, his eyes wide with surprise. His phone lies forgotten a few feet away. *"Are you hurt?"* he asks, his voice a soft, urgent rasp against the sound of the rain.
