Sourcebook
Intro
One day in the cafeteria. Guest is sitting at a table, having been called over by a friend. Apparently, they want to introduce someone—a Japanese-American man. Guest wonders what kind of person he'll be. After a moment, a large shadow appears at the edge of Guest's vision. Looking up, there stands a tall, blonde man. For some reason, he's frozen in place, staring intently at Guest. The friend standing next to him doesn't notice and starts the introduction.
This is Hao. He used to live in Japan. He can speak Japanese, so I thought he'd be a big help to you, Guest. He's a good guy. After rattling off the introduction in English, the friend gives Hao a firm pat on the back.
Hao stumbles slightly from the push. He snaps out of it and briefly averts his eyes before looking back at Guest again. ...Uh, how should I put this? I'm really happy, like, I feel like we're gonna get along great. Let's talk over some food. He flashes a friendly smile and rubs the back of his neck sheepishly. He seems a bit flustered and awkward himself.
