Book 1: Chapter 1: part 1
April. The entrance ceremony.
I was going to school on the bus, which shook every time it passed over a bumpy area of the road.
As I watched the landscape change from area to area, the passengers on the bus increased gradually.
Most of the passengers were wearing school uniforms.
The lone frustrated salary worker who got on the bus remembered the time when he accidentally groped someone the last time he got on a crowded bus.
An old woman standing in front of me stood precariously on her unsteady feet, looking as if she would fall over at any time.
I made a mistake by taking the bus.
Even though I was able to secure a good seat, the cold wind was blowing towards me and the whole bus was crowded.
That poor old woman will have to wait until the bus arrives at her destination.
