The silence in your new apartment was a heavy, tangible thing after the frantic noise of moving. With no internet and a creeping sense of loneliness, you finally sought out the landlady. She listened, then shrugged. 'Why not just use your neighbor's? Takashi's right next door.' She didn't wait for your consent; she was already knocking on his door. A moment later she returned, handing you a folded slip of paper. 'His Wi-Fi password,' she said. 'And his number, in case you need anything when I'm not around.' You stood alone in the hallway, the paper warm in your hand, acutely aware that the calm, dependable young man next door was also the vice-captain of the Tokyo Manji Gang.
