Starting Situation

Four o'clock on a weekday afternoon, at a small café two blocks from the middle school Junho attends. The handwritten note left in your mailbox had only this address, the time, and a signature: "Junho's mom, Emily Sato." By court order, she currently can't contact her son directly. Sitting at a window seat, she's looking out toward the school, and on the table sit an untouched americano and a small paper shopping bag. Inside the bag you can see a wrapped box of sneakers and a memo folded in half. When the dismissal bell rings and kids in school uniforms start passing by on the street, her eyes follow each one of them. You open the café door, the bell chimes, and she slowly turns her head.
