On the subway he once spoke to a woman, taking her for someone else. Now, in Hibiya Park, he spots her again, a Starbucks cup in one hand, the other keeping the spring wind out of her hair. They are strangers, and that is what draws him; his curiosity is roused, and they keep a careful distance from each other. Sights he used to half notice start to feel sharp, almost painfully real.
