Ryuji had packed in a hurry, saying he’d explain where they were going once they were in the car. But once underway, he’d said, “I didn’t sleep last night-don’t wake me till Kamakura,” and then he’d promptly gone to sleep.

He exited the Yokohama-Yokosuka road at Asahina and then took the Kanazawa road five kilometres until they reached Kamakura Station. Ryuji had been asleep for a good two hours.

“Hey, we’re here,” said Asakawa, shaking him. Ryuji stretched his body like a cat, rubbed his eyes with the backs of his hands, and shook his head rapidly from side to side, lips flapping.

“Ahh, I was having such a pleasant dream…”

“What do we do now?”

Ryuji sat up and looked out the window to see where he was. “Just go straight on this road, and then when you reach the Outer Gate to the Hachiman Shrine turn left and stop.” Then Ryuji went to lie down again, saying, “Maybe I can still catch the tail-end of that dream, if you don’t mind.”

“Look, we’ll be there in five minutes. If you’ve got time to sleep, you’ve got time to explain to me what we’re doing here.”

“You’ll see once we get there,” said Ryuji, jamming his knees up against the dashboard and going back to sleep.

Asakawa made the left and stopped. Dead ahead was an old two-story house with a small sign reading “Tetsuzo Miura Memorial Hall.”

“Pull into that parking lot.” Ryuji had apparently opened his eyes slightly. He wore a satisfied look and his nostrils were flared like he was sniffing perfume. “Thanks to you I was able to finish my dream.”

“What was it about?” asked Asakawa, as he turned the steering wheel.

“What do you think? I was flying. I love dreams where I’m flying.” Ryuji snorted happily and licked his lips.

The Tetsuzo Miura Memorial Hall looked deserted. A large open space on the ground floor featured photographs and documents in frames on the wall or in cases under glass, and an outline of this Miura fellow’s achievements was plastered onto the centre wall. Reading it, Asakawa finally figured out who the man was.

“Excuse me. Is there anyone here?” called Ryuji into the depths of the building. There was no reply.

Tetsuzo Miura had died two years ago at the age of 72, after retiring from a professorship at Yokodai University. He’d specialized in theoretical physics, concentrating on theories of matter and statistical dynamics. But the Memorial Hall, modest as it was, didn’t result from his achievements as a physicist, but from his scientific investigations of paranormal phenomena. The resume on the wall claimed that the Professor’s theories had attracted worldwide interest, although undoubtedly only a limited number of people had actually paid any attention. After all, Asakawa had never even heard of the guy. And what exactly were this man’s theories? To find the answer, Asakawa began to examine the items on the walls and in the display cases. _Thoughts have energy, and that energy _… Asakawa had read this far when he heard, echoing from another room, the sound of someone hurrying down stairs.
