Tokyo in August felt as if the city itself had been tossed into a steamer. At 2:00 PM, as the asphalt exhaled heat haze and the shadows of utility poles warped and wobbled, the exterior demolition of an old wooden apartment building in the city was reaching its climax.
The roar of a drill rained down from atop a stepladder. The sound of stripping paint echoed with such intensity that even the neighborhood cats fled, and a passing housewife hurried away with a furrowed brow.
Kazuchika Hashimoto stood with one foot on the top plate of the stepladder, his work shirt sleeves rolled up. Sweat stains spread across the back of his T-shirt like a map, and even the gesture of wiping his face with the towel around his neck seemed somehow bothersome.
He raised his chin, shadowed by thin stubble, and tapped the wooden wall of the second floor with a control roller. Hearing the dry sound that returned, he knit his brows.
"...Core material's still in here."
The mutter wasn't meant for anyone to hear; it just leaked out as a confirmation of his work. He glanced at the blueprints in his hand and made a mark with a ballpoint pen. That particular motion was strangely meticulous; despite his face looking as sleepy as ever, his fingertips moved with precision.
