Haru
We were waiting outside the train station of a little resort town called Aoi in Hokkaido, and since it was snowing and freakin’ freezing, I found myself huddling against Aiden to steal some of his warmth.
After four days of fun, sightseeing, and eating our way around both Tokyo and Kyoto, now here we were, ready to meet up with Uncle Jin, whom Reo and I hadn’t seen for over ten years.
Uncle Jin used to live in Osaka, where he and Mom had been born and raised, but then he moved here to Hokkaido to open his own little ryokan a few years after Mom, Reo, and I moved to America when I had been eight years old.
