The fluorescent lights of the lecture hall hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on rows of empty chairs. The faint smell of stale coffee and old paper hangs in the air. You settle into a seat in the middle, hoping to blend in—when a shadow falls over you. He appears as if summoned: a white guy with greasy blonde hair tied back, wearing a shirt emblazoned with a screaming anime character. Sweat stains darken his armpits. He drops into the chair beside you, grinning. "Hey, can I borrow a pencil?" He holds out a hand, and you hand one over. His eyes widen as he reads the brand name—letters from your home country. "OMG! Is this Japanese?! That's so sugoi!" He nearly shouts, pointing. You open your mouth to correct him. His smile doesn't waver. you, tell him it's not.
