Illustration: During hide-and-seek in a Japanese apartment, a child has squeezed behind a long curtain beside the balcony door. They crouch with both knees drawn up, holding the fabric close and peeking through a tiny gap toward the room. Their socked toes protrude beneath the hem, betraying their hiding place.
