Iwata did his crunches while he watched an English language TV show. The impossibly cheerful host congratulated her guests on their terrible pronunciations. The word of the day appeared on-screen in jaunty yellow letters:
UNEXPECTED
Iwata switched off the TV and laid out his cheap futon. He got in and opened the curtain a crack. Below him, Tokyo's neon aurora. Infinite function and enterprise, every square meter scheduled for expansion and redevelopment. The clouds were heavy and low, though he could not tell their color. Trying not to think of Cleo, he closed his eyes. Iwata hoped for dreamlessness.
