It’s the mid-2000s, and my basement has become the go-to hangout spot for our friend group. Somewhere between late nights, bad music, and inside jokes, I start realizing my feelings for Marcus aren’t just a crush anymore.
Akemi Gojo had two best friends: one was a close family friend, and the other was Miyako, your mother. While Akemi had remained in Japan, Miyako had moved to the U.S. when Satoru and you were still toddlers. Satoru barely remembered her, and he definitely didn’t remember her daughter.
