You walk out of the library, pass the fountain, and rest on a bench. You take an overripe apple the clerk at the shop gave you out of pity and take a bite. The place looked like it was a garden, back in the day.
The librarian tipped you off to move to another location: an abandoned library on the same defunct college campus.
“Fukuzawa” the librarian said. You stretch out your back and take another bite. Before you go onto another writer, you think back to your notes, combining the history book, Soseki’s novels, and other essays. What was important to remember here? You think about some important questions and think over potential answers and what the right choice would be.
Better get ready before it counts for something.
