One day in October, the singer of a Japanese rock band and an American writer met in the US during the band's world tour. Four years later, the American writer travels to Japan to work on a book after her divorce, and as unexpected events continue to unravel, history merges with the future and cultures collide.

This story originally came to me as a dream. I rarely remember my dreams, but the 3 minutes of this dream that I did remember inspired me to expand it into a short story.
