Cosmos （４）

”When I woke up in the morning, my father and mother were arguing Why are we arguing like this?...”I remember there was a song about that, but I don't think it was ever sung. I remember there was a song like that, but I don't think it was ever sung. The melody came to me before I woke up. Morning is a special time. The sudden separation from the familiar temperature of my body hits me hard in the bones. As soon as I wake up, I imagine that those who have fallen asleep dream as they get warmer. When they reach that warmth, the dream appears. So when I wake up from a dream, I feel a certain sweet rustiness. What events in reality. No matter how shocking it is, it does not expose the lie that you have told yourself. However, no matter how confident I am in front of others, I cannot deceive my unconsciousness. It was chilly outside. I got off the station platform with a small white breath. There was still time to spare. I went into a café. I usually don't go out of my way to go into the stores in this station, but I do so to kill some time. There was a man standing around a table talking with a group of men in suits. Was it a coincidence? There seemed to be something inevitable. I naturally listened. The two suits who were listening to the conversation were laughing quietly, as if they were talking about something good. The two suits were laughing quietly as they listened to me. At first glance, it was attractive and could be misinterpreted as something that takes precedence over social norms. It was relaxing, but there was also a hint of danger. The other members of the group were smiling wanly with a downcast look on their faces. One of the members of the group was a clerical M-Hiko. who was a bit shy, as if this kind of economic talk was out of character for him.  They were acquainted with each other. Conveniently, they were all so focused on the early stages of the negotiations that they were unaware that I was nearby. When I asked M-Hiko again after he arrived at work, he glared at me and said, "Why?" He glared at me and said, "Why? I was horrified for a moment. He didn't seem to want me to tell anyone. If his superiors had heard that he had left the office empty at that time of the day, they would have questioned his professional competence. I was going to leave a little earlier, but it dragged on. You know, you don't have to say anything. How is the contract going? I want you to do it without mistakes," he ended the conversation in a rather shouted tone.
