Pure Japanese

You take a stuntman’s pay to stay invisible, but the set explodes and leaves you staring at walls. A high-school girl shaking on a train platform drags you into her fight, and your fists start to feel like applause. The director watches how easily the hero turns into the villain mid-scene.
