"You have to be careful, when you live like this. You have to live life in a normal way. Otherwise, it’ll get to you."
As an American in Japan, Brian lives his life in isolation. By day he teaches at a local elementary school; by night he wanders dark streets, battling depression.
Then an unsettling encounter with an English-speaking stranger leaves Brian wondering if perhaps he isn’t as alone as he thought. Brian never questions the young man’s interest in his life, too relieved at being rescued from his loneliness.
He shouldn’t be.
