And someone is being stopped by the cops and/or arrested right outside of my apartment building.
How do I know? Because the lights are lighting up my room like daybreak, and because the cop is on his megaphone telling the guy what to do. It's probably nothing really big; Japanese in positions of authority tend to blow things out of proportion* but all the same, there are some days I really wish I didn't live on the first floor.
Urg. Off to bed, at any rate.
*(Take for instance, the 不審者 (lit. 'suspicious person') reports regularly circulated throughout schools and the city hall. There was one circulating today at the elementary school I visited. Roughly summarised, its contents were as follows: a man was seen walking near the school grounds this afternoon.
Even yours truly may have been the subject of one of these reports earlier this year, when warnings were circulated that there were several sightings of man seen walking around the neighborhood at dusk. Which is when I take my walks, and the Japanese suffer from a righteous inability to identify my biological sex. You get the picture.)
That will be all.
