The Wheel

47. Sam

I've always loved Japanese cuisine, that's why I chose rice noodles with teriyaki sauce: I usually eat it using sticks, but since this time my hands were shaking nervously, I decided to enjoy it using an ordinary fork. Where did I hear this Korean song? Yeah, that's right! It's Aimi Yuguchi singing Smile. Once I watched a movie named 'Babel' about three unusual stories in three different parts of the world; and one of the stories was about a deaf Japanese girl. I remember when this girl came into a café and this song was playing there: my ex-girlfriend Joan who was watching that film with me liked it, and she asked me to find out the name of the song with Shazam. It's amazing how many things are interrelated! What if everything is interrelated?

As soon as the Japanese song was over, the video of Imagine Dragon's Believer appeared on all the walls: I don't really like this band, it'd rather listen to something from the 80s. I look at Mike whose jaw dropped in surprise, and he started dancing a little: giving what he had to go through in comparison to David, Miguel, and Kate, he deserves this moment of joy. So, one of us is in some way behind us being trapped here? This is ridiculous! Why and what for? Maybe someone started envying and thinking that he or she is the only one who has a bad life and they decided to check it? It means this 'someone' has a lot of money. We know that Chris' parents are quite wealthy people. Frankly speaking, I hate him for showing off so much: he always pretends that everything is great in his life – besides, he has enough money to construct this room. But what does he need it for? People's fear makes him excited? It's absurd, but after David, Miguel, Mike, and Kate's stories I started to understand that there are some things in people's life that a stranger would never guess.
