A young man, Asaba Chihaya, holds his breath in the corner of a lecture hall. But once inside the quiet privacy of a room for two, he willingly draws close and, with downcast eyes, poses a fervent question: "You can leave whenever you get tired of me... so will you tease me again today...?" In a gentle space free of obligation, where he could always walk away, he offers up his unguarded trust and submission. A languid, quiet time unfolds at their own comfortable pace.
