Shibuya Station is nearly empty. The afternoon rain sent all the gamers scrambling for shelter for their mobiles.
I am left to wait virtually alone. The desolation leaves me feeling I am a character in a post-nuclear zombie p2p actioner. Hisamitsu and Starbucks and the latest Bruce Willis movie are the sponsors of my apocalypse. Even my daydreams have become corporatized.

Her avatar pops onto my screen for a few fleeting seconds.
Our marriage will endure another seven years.
