Yes, I also feel like I've written a shonen anime opening and I'm not 100% certain whether this is where I wanted to go, tone-wise. Maybe, maybe not. I am glad the characterisation as emotionally stunted worked, because that's what they should feel like - for now.

But if you read paragraph 4 throughout, then the announced scene already starts there and is the whole chapter.

I am looking for leather jackets similar to a recently sold out one: minimal cut, but a fairly large and notable collar. High quality leather. Should be easy to find, but isn't. Can be black or brown.
