tokyo, japan.
the sidewalk has warmed to your body by the time you hear her footsteps. she wears black boots—you can see that out of the corner of your eye. you do not make any effort to look up at her. lying face-down on the pavement is how you woke, so lying face-down on the pavement is how she will have to have you, for now.
“where are we this time?” she asks. her voice is high, reedy, that of a child. you are a child too, you think: small limbs, quick heartbeat that you can feel where your collarbone presses against the concrete.
“edo,” you tell her. turn your face to the side to get the words out. “where else?”
she hums in agreement or irritation, you can’t tell. “are you going to sit up?”
you shake your head.
