There is a strange comfort in the spaces between where we are and where we are going. Tokyo has a way of magnifying this—turning mundane waits at railway crossings and quiet train rides into moments of intense reflection. They call it sonder: the realization that every random passerby has a story as vivid and complex as your own. You don’t need to force a destination today. Sometimes the best thing you can do is just stand, watch, and exist.
