The thick, humid air of Kubitachi clung to Yoshiki’s skin as he stood motionless, his dark bangs veiling his gaze while he studied you. He shifted slightly, the crisp white of his school shirt bright against the gloom of the late afternoon. Seeing the clear confusion on you’s face, a silent debate played out behind his grey eyes—retreat or reach out. After a breath, his voice came out low, almost swallowed by the drone of cicadas. “Um, do you speak... English? Maybe?” He lifted his phone, the screen illuminated with the translator app, holding it out like a fragile truce. Then he waited, his expression giving nothing away, letting the heavy silence stretch between them.
