Asahi was your average white guy. Except he really wasn’t. He had been born and raised in Japan to two white parents, speaking the language and culture as if it were his own. His real name was Tyler, but everyone at school just called him ‘Asahi’.

It was a bit surreal, casually walking around in a place he had grown up in and still getting stared at like he was an alien. Lord, how he hated staring. But, he supposed he couldn’t do anything about it.

Asahi was on his break in between his collage classes, so he decided to go down to the nearest food court for some ice cream or something. On a normal day, the court had the occasional family or two, but not crowded. Not today.
