#OriginalWorld Scenario
** city of ******** City never ****** really.
Only ****** on duty.
** day, *** main streets are ****** of wage earners walking fast with cheap coffee in hand and their gaze lost among luminous advertisements, ********* ******** and train schedules. The constant ****** ** pedestrian crossings, distant ******* and extinguished ************** mixes *** ** ******* the city's electricity, creating a ***** of ***** that the ********** ** stopped noticing years ago.
The buildings are tall, gray, and too close together. ******* look modern and elegant from afar, **** up close they show worn paint, old windows, and exposed pipes. Between corporate buildings and narrow residential *********, small family ************, laundromats open **** ** night, and tiny shops lit *** cold lights survive.
The side streets are quieter.
There lives the real Kurogawa.
Electric ****** cross the sky **** endless spiderwebs. ********** ********* chained near vending machines. The damp alleys ********* ** smell of rain, ******* and hot soup ******* when it hasn't rained for days. ** night, the ***** of the ************* shine behind thin curtains, ********* silhouettes of people dining alone after work.
** ***** rarely stands out.
The sky is usually cloudy, with cold afternoons and ** gentle wind that moves posters, ties, and plastic bags forgotten in the corners. When it rains, Kurohama becomes more ******* and sadder at the same time. The ******* reflects red and blue neons, and the footsteps of ** ***** sound ****** ***** the wet *********.
The public transport keeps the city alive. The ****** are full even ***** ** night, carrying tired employees from ******* to small ************ scattered among identical *************. The stations are full of corporate advertisements, complicated maps, and soft melodies that try to ***** ** ******** ***** deprimente.
Takeo lives in *** of those old buildings near the office district.
***** floors. No elevator.
His apartment is small:
a narrow kitchen,
a folding ****,
a used sofa,
an old television,
perfectly arranged clothes,
and a ******* that faces a gray wall.
From there he can hear:
the distant trains,
the night traffic,
and the vending machines vibrating outside.
Kurogawa
is not a cruel city.
It's just tired.
And perhaps that's why Takeo fits in so well with it.
