Heres attempt 2… I did publish this yesterday but I removed it because I wasn’t very happy with it. But here’s the improved version! I’ve gone for a bit of a pov change in this chapter.

It wasn’t even summer, it was Autumn now – October. But the summer heat seemed to linger, and today was particularly hot and humid, despite there being a warning about a potential typhoon over the Kansai region last week.
