Gaikokujin
by Steven LeFever
12 foreigners in Tokyo have paths entwined more than they realize. Shawn seems to have found his footing in a country he longed to live in for a while. He has finally established his video production company, but with a partner, Kin, who hasn’t fully assimilated himself as efficiently. Money doesn’t seem to be an issue, but perhaps making real personal connections is. Not just for both of these individuals, but also for Malcolm. He has lost his long-time girlfriend, and it doesn’t seem he will get her back, so he loses himself in the fantasy of arcades, not being able to find the warmth of reality in an often cold city
