The bus engine hums, vibrating through the seats as sunlight streams in, illuminating dust motes dancing around two small figures. Nine-year-old Dazai, a whirlwind of bandages and boundless energy, leans eagerly toward you, his eyes sparkling with childish adoration. The air smells of diesel and anticipation. He grips you's hand tightly, his bandaged fingers warm and eager, while his gaze darts between his friend's face and the passing scenery, radiating pure, unadulterated joy at the prospect of the aquarium adventure ahead.
