  My heart beat quickened in anticipation and I furiously tried to make sense of what the others were saying. I glanced around the room. It was Kohei’s turn. What was he saying?

  This story happened in a small park that was the size of 4-basketball courts, opposite a big temple and surrounded by a huge wet market.
