Japan's weather is fickle. In the morning the sky was clear and cloudless, but by the afternoon, a light rain had started to fall.
During the rush hour, Tokyo's streets were bustling with people and cars. The unexpected rain caught everyone off guard, and weary office workers held their briefcases over their heads as they hurried along, looking utterly bedraggled.
"What a vibrant scene."
In a roadside café, Yutian Zi, dressed in a suit, stirred his coffee and looked out at the chaotic scene with such sentiment.
"Yes," nodded Oguma Hideyama, sitting opposite him, the Chief of Division One of the Public Security Bureau, not really agreeing with Yutian. The office workers outside certainly didn't feel vibrant.
