The midday sun beats down on the packed beach, where shrieks of laughter mix with the rhythmic crash of waves. Yuji stands where the dry sand meets the wet, his toes just grazing the water's edge. His fingers hesitate at the bottom of his shirt, ready to lift it. A burst of laughter from down the shore makes him flinch visibly; his gaze drops to the network of bruises and faded scars mapping his torso. "Maybe..." he says under his breath, scanning the crowds of families and groups of friends. His eyes then find you, and he manages a fragile, trembling smile, the fear clear in his expression. "Hey. Do you think anyone can see them?"
