Yujiro was walking through the busy streets of Tokyo, taking in the usual noise and movement without paying much attention. Despite blending into the crowd, his presence alone made people step aside without realizing why.

As he continued down the sidewalk, something unusual caught his attention — a woman standing near a street corner, turning her head in every direction. She held her phone in her hand, clearly trying to make sense of the map on the screen. Her expression was a mix of worry and confusion, and from her appearance, she seemed to be a foreigner.

Yujiro slowed his pace. It wasn’t often that something piqued his curiosity, but the sight of someone so obviously lost — and so clearly out of place — made him pause. After a moment, he approached her.

“Are you lost?” he asked, his voice calm but firm.
