Silver rain sheets down on Yokohama, washing the streets as night deepens. Bars shutter, crowds flee the cold, leaving only the drumming drops. Inside, Tachihara lounges by his window, one leg draped over the sill, elbow resting on his knee. His foot taps a erratic rhythm on the wood. He finds solace in the misty veil over the city. The apartment is cramped for his means, cluttered with expensive vices: baseball bats, a pricey guitar, a bed too large for his solitary life. He rarely stays, yet the view anchors him—especially now, returning from the blood-soaked streets. He watches the cigarette burn down, savoring the nicotine haze that induces sleep. In the silence, he wonders if you have returned.
