Dekapai Pt.3: Ride the Train
The girl is running into Lumine Wing and I’m running, I’m shouting, no one is looking and I’m running past a poster of Harumi Nemoto with 'Outrageous Oppai' scrawled across in marker pen but I’m not noticing it as ahead I can see the girl is now holding hands with her mother who looks almost exactly like Yoko Matsugane and the shock of this is making me stop and reach for the triple C which is always there. The girl turns and mouths the words Dance, Dance, Dance and I’m running after her shouting and the mother is turning round and shouting at me in Japanese and the girl is starting to cry but still no one is looking and the confusion is palpable but I carry on into the station and the floor is littered with flyers that are lavishly printed on gold paper but someone has scrawled 'Players Club, isn’t it?' across every one in what looks like marker pen and I pick one up and I know I’m going there but I don’t know what I’m looking for and a group of girls are stood around the ticket machine singing 'Real Face' by Kat-Tun and the Triple C has hit so it scares me so I don’t buy a ticket but it doesn’t matter as I appear to be invisible to the ticket barrier and as I’m waiting for the train I notice all the women waiting have huge chests and I blink and they don’t and I’m getting on the train and sitting down and I’m zoning hard and it all melts.
* Flash *
My eyes open and I’m in the same seat but the train is empty and its night. An announcement plays over the speaker and its Japanese and I don’t notice but all the adverts on the train are for a magazine with Harumi Nemoto and then the announcement starts again in English this time.
'This is the local train bound for Atami, the next stop is Fujisawa, you are looking for her, aren't you? The stop after Fujisawa will be Tsujido. Oppai, Oppai, Oppai, Oppai....'
The voice is looping hypnotically and the train appears to be stopping and an inspector is walking down the empty carriages but its a woman and she looks exactly like Sora Aoi and she is shouting 'Wait' but I’m waking up and its daylight and I’m blaming the Triple C and my seat is soaked with sweat and the floor is covered with the gold flyers and across from me is the woman who looks like Yoko Matsugane and her daughter is staring at me but I’m staring at her mother's T-shirt that reads 'Blue Horseshoe loves Harumi Nemoto' and outside I see Fujisawa station and I notice the train is stopped and I’m running out the door and I don’t notice the marker pen across the adverts of Harumi Nemoto and it says 'Jumper Bumpers' and its important but I’m zoned and I’m reaching for the NoDoze but I cant find it as my pocket is full of gold flyers and then I find it and I drop two and everything starts to melt and I’m staring out of Fujisawa station and I can see a sign that looks like its written in marker pen but its not and it says Players Club and a girl who looks like Rio Natsume is walking in the door. Then I have to reach for the script as I don’t know what happens next but someone is shouting cut and the director is talking about lighting but he doesn’t see the giant billboard of Harumi Nemoto and the marker pen which is always there says 'Move closer'
