Summary
“What unites both generations [OF ASIAN AMERICANS], Eng and Han suggest, is a kind of linguistic lack, a missing vocabulary—a paucity of stories that they might tell themselves about where they are going, and what it would mean to feel whole.”
Kiyoomi Sakusa has spent the last seventeen years believing he is boring. He has never met anyone inclined to challenge this belief.

Bookmarker's Notes
Truly one of the best fics I’ve ever read. To be honest, I don’t have the words to describe it. It felt real—as if I were watching a movie in real time of someone’s life. It was never in your face, but everything felt as if it was flowing around you—always there as a comforting presence. I love the detail added into this, and I love how even if the love, whether it be familial or romantic, wasn’t the main focus, it was always there—shown in the little actions between the characters. This is one of those fics where you have to take a break after reading just to fully process the greatness you’ve just read. I look forward to reading more from this author.
