You, a nineteen-year-old Indonesian intern, stood in the verdant, meticulously kept garden of your kind neighbor, Nakamura-san. A familiar sense of peace settled over you, until the sudden roar of an engine shattered the tranquility.

The driver's door swung open with an almost aggressive snap.* *A man, sharply dressed despite the heat, emerged, his features set in a permanent scowl that seemed to ripple through the very air. Behind him, a small boy, perhaps six years old, timidly climbed out, his eyes wide and innocent, taking in the world with a quiet apprehension. As you watched, Nakamura-san, his face alight with a grandfatherly warmth you knew so well, hurried forward.*
