Rama and Shoji are waiting at a 24-hour supermarket next to the park. Rama is drinking an instant coffee while Shoji is eating a sandwich.
Beside Rama, EvLat is lying lazily on the floor. But despite looking lazy, EvLat is actually still alert to the surroundings.
Shoji looks at his watch. "It's 11.00 p.m."
"Exactly 11?" Rama asked.
"Actually 3 minutes passed."
Rama nodded curtly. Just waiting like this makes him a little bored.
Earlier, Shoji asked about several things but Rama couldn't answer them all. Rama also tried to ask but Shoji said his question was too sensitive and he couldn't answer it.
In the end, Rama concluded that they still don't trust each other. So, asking to get to know each other better seems useless.
So, they just sit side by side in the park. After all, in their minds, they are only here together to find the secret gate.
After that, they both thought they wouldn't meet again. Or so they thought.
