fei du's even better with the car - he sends them flying around a corner with an expert spin of the wheel under his palms, make the tires squeal as they peel out and race down the corners of shibuya. at one point, he even throws the gearshift and puts it in reverse, then drives backwards around the alley in center street, right arm over the back of the passenger seat, watching over his shoulder, clearly just having like, a really good time.
which is good! he probably needs it more than he's really let on. he's egged on by any reactions, and only stops when they get to another stoplight - after having zoomed through a couple yellow ones seconds before they turned - hitting the brakes hard and turning to grin at her. ]
[just like with the bike - it makes her laugh, when he takes corners like a madman. when he reverses, she turns to watch him maneuver through the alleyway, expression bright and pleased. this, she thinks, is a little more fun than the bike, even.
and when he turns to grin at her, she gives him a little grin in return - it's something where her nose wrinkles and she looks impish. emotion, the way she hasn't been able to express since she was little.
a pause, and then:] I don't know if laws exist here, but that felt illegal.
