Between 1973 and 1976, Masahisa Fukase photographed his wife Yōko Wanibe every morning from their fourth-floor apartment window in Tokyo as she left for work — ritual as romance, repetition as obsession. What began as a gesture of love spiraled into a quiet portrait of marital collapse. She played along, posing in costume like an actress on a stage she couldn’t leave — until she finally did. He called the series From Window. She called their life ‘suffocating dullness interspersed by violent, near-suicidal flashes of excitement.’ (source)

We will be in Tokoyo most likely cuz we are going to Disney. Please help me, I know absolutely nothing but I’ve been wanting to see Japan for a long time!
warnings: i’m not sure what happened the the sanos parents so i’m just gonna make a little something up but it doesn’t go against the plot of the manga at all
Just like any child, Shinichiro was upset at his parents recent mishaps. First the divorce, now their fathers death and mothers absence, he had a right to be upset. Everyone around him knew that, an 12 year old boy, with his 2 year old brother. Thankfully their grandfather took them in, but it still stung to be abandoned like that. He was constantly sluggish and in a bad mood. Not showing his kind and caring self to the world anymore, he shut himself off, from his friends, family, even himself. But that didn’t sit right with (y/n).
She wasn’t friends with the boy, only sharing a few classes with him in the past few years, and he would be joining the same dojo as her, the one his grandpa ran. Still, They talked a few times in class, but that was the extent of it. But he was being so obvious about his bad mood it pissed her off. Usually she wouldn’t care about these kinds of things, but it felt different with him. Maybe because of his situation, the way he was handling? She really didn’t know; All she knew is that she was annoyed at him. 
It had been a mildly warm day, at lunch time she went to some shaded area, one near the edge of the school, so people would be less likely to find her. It’s not that (y/n) hated people, she wasn’t bullied or anything. She had quite a few friends actually. Hot days just weren’t her days. So imagine her surprise when the boy she’s most annoyed with comes to her spot. Just plopped himself down almost next to her. On a warm day too! she could feel her body heat rise.
“It’s really hot today.”
he said out loud, (y/n) wasn’t really sure if he was talking to her or not. so she wanted to reply just in case.
“mhm i feel my skin peeling off right now.”
“haha! me too. I’m sano shinichiro by the way, we share some classes together if you remember. You can call me anything, i really don’t mind. Especially when it’s a pretty girl like you!”
the boy laid back on the tree, trying to cool himself down.
“pretty? Usually boys wait a bit before saying that. You shouldn’t just throw out compliments willy nilly, they lose their meaning then!”
“h-huh?! I’m being serious though! you’ve always been pretty. You think i call every girl i see pretty???”
he said, shock laced in his voice as he jolted up, staring you down.
“hm? always? we haven’t talked enough for you to call me that.”
“huhhhh no way. We totally have…. I asked you what the date was.. and.. you borrowed my eraser… WHICH YOU DIDNT GIVE BACK!”
he said, yelling the last part a little loud.
“THAT IS TOTALLY NOT ENOUGH INTERACTIONS!”
“YUHUH IT IS, YOURE REALLY NICE AND CONSIDERATE. ITS NOTICEABLE YOU KNOW.”
he huffed out.
“kind and considerate huh.. you were like that before. You were really loud in class, and you always helped everyone out. Now… you’re kinda just a shell of yourself. It’s weird.”
“weird? it’s not my fault! i have a lot going o-“
you cut him off, you really didn’t want to hear his whole pity speech.
“Oh my god, get in line. Everyone has a lot going on. You should be glad you do have things going on! some people never got to live long enough to experience things going on. You’re so lucky to have the life you have, to breath everyday, drink clean water, eat when you want, hang out with your friends! some people will never experience that. So stop pitying yourself. Things happen! life goes on, deal with it just stop being so fucking fake.”
Shinichiro was speechless for a bit, he just looked over at the school, staying silent. he spoke up after a bit.
“you know what… you’re so right (y/n)! i’m not enjoying being sad all the time. Thanks for the advice.”
“i didn’t think that would work, wow.”
“HUH WHAT DO YOU MEAN WOULDNT WORK?!”
“I MEAN WHAT I SAID, YOURE MOOD WAS SERIOUSLY MESSING UP WITH EVERYONES IT WAS ANNOYING AS. SO GO BACK TO BEING ANNOYING SHINICHIRO.”
“FINE I WILL.”
With that he stormed off, leaving you to cool down by yourself again. later after lunch when you went back to class, you did see good old annoying shinichiro. Talking to all his friends, being super enthusiastic. It was nice. Everyone in class seemed to be having a good time. That was until the teacher came in.
After that, You and shinichiro grew closer. Hanging out almost everyday after school. one day when you two were 13 you were hanging out like any other day with a few other friends at the park. having your usual talk, until shinichiro brought up a crazy idea.
“guys let’s make a gang.”
various huhs came out of everyone.
“THINK ABOUT IT! ITS LIKE A CLUB, BUT COOLER! AND WE GET COOL HAIRCUTS AND UNIFORMS AND BIKES!!”
The black haired boy had stars in his eyes. while the others sweat dropped.
“Chiro… no offence but you’re weak as. Weak at fighting and weak to women.”
one of your friends said, bursting his bubble.
“AM NOT!”
“bro we played slaps the other day, and you started crying when you flinched, and not to mention you do everything (y/n) says. You’re like a puppy towards her.”
another friend chimed in too, crushing his ego even more.
“you know what. I believe in him!”
(y/n) declared to all their friends, also met with huhs
“think about it guys, Shinichiro is so charismatic it’s scary sometimes. He can gain the respect of gang members easily! so he’ll have tough guys to fight with him. And the jackets would be so cool.”
Everyone agreed with (y/n). Leaving the boy even more head over heels with the girl. not only was she pretty on the inside and the outside, she also believed in him. Shinichiro honestly could’ve cried tears of joy. but it wasn’t the time. Right now it was the time to make a gang.
From that day on, the black dragons was formed. the leader who was weak at fighting, and weak to women. Sometimes he would wonder what got him so lucky, to be surrounded by so many people who loved him. And every time he realises that they were there all along.
he just needed some advice from a beautiful girl to get him to realise.
