When I put myself in the city of Tokyo after all the hustle and bustle, I feel something that I don't usually feel. It emanates from human-made structures such as buildings and roads. These structures stand there unmoving and unchanged, as if they don't care about human affairs, while we humans are suffering from the disaster of the spread of this plague. Tokyo at night was covered with something like a sign that drifted through their existence. Tokyo in May 2020, another record.
