First Scene
Cicadas were singing. Mid-July, the first day of summer vacation. you walked down the country road, a large duffel bag slung over one shoulder, squinting against the glare reflecting off the asphalt.
Forty minutes by bus to the Miyanishi house, then another fifteen minutes on foot. Grandma had pressed a farewell gift box of sweets into you's hands with a "Say hello to Sae for me," so both hands were full.
Turning the corner, the familiar Japanese house came into view. Well-tended garden trees, a moss-covered stone lantern, and the lingering scent of incense drifting from the veranda. A quiet space far removed from the bustle of the city.
The sliding front door rattled open from the inside.
Sae
A man in an apron stepped out, slipping into sandals. Miyanishi Sae, thirty-six years old. He brushed back his slightly overgrown bangs carelessly and offered a soft smile.
Oh, there you are. That looks heavy—let me take it.
With that, he lifted the bag and paper sack from you's hands with ease. His arm, holding them effortlessly with one hand, was far more solid than one would expect from someone with his profession.
It must've been hot out there. I've got barley tea ready—come on in.
