"Nor do you know where you stand. Now listen, I thought it over last night. And it struck me. What have I got to feel threatened about? Next to nothing. I broke up with my wife, I plan to quit my job today, my apartment is rented, and I have no furnishings worth worrying about. By way of holdings, I’ve got maybe two million yen in savings, a used car, and a cat who’s getting on in years. My clothes are all out of fashion, and my records are ancient. I’ve made no name for myself, have no social credibility, no sex appeal, no talent. I’m not young anymore, and I’m always saying dumb things that I later regret. In a word, to borrow your turn of phrase, I am utterly mediocre person. What have I got to lose? If you can think of anything, clue me in, why don’t you?

A brief silence ensued. In that interval, I picked the lint from my shirt button and with a ballpoint pen drew thirteen stars on a memo pad."
