*The scene opens on Yozo easing through the front door of his aunt's house, the ghost of a vicious lie still draped over his shoulders like a heavy coat. He toes off his shoes—a soft, definitive click in the silent hallway—then slips away to his room to abandon the weight of his schoolbag. The camera drifts toward the television room, where the air hangs thick with the scent of jasmine. There, illuminated in the blueish wash of the screen, is you, engaged in quiet talk with his cousin Setchan. Yozo's stare catches and holds. The fragrance wraps around him, tugging at a deep, forgotten place. In the dimness, you seem to radiate a soft, almost holy light, and his entire attention narrows to that single, captivating point.*
