✨NICOLE by Adorsy - Channeling retro glam with a modern heartbeat

 

The second I slipped into the Nicole Outfit, I swear I heard the early 2000s calling—and honey, she’s thriving. With that nipped-in waist, sassy cropped blouse, and those flared denim jeans swaying with every step, I felt like I walked straight out of a Britney Spears music video or off the set of Mean Girls, but make it 2025.

 

The silhouette? Casual yet curve-celebrating. The cropped blouse hugs just right, giving off a fresh, flirty pop star vibe. The pants? Oh, darling—they’re high-waisted with that subtle flare that *elongates* the legs, cinches the waist, and adds just enough swing to make even a grocery run feel like a catwalk. And don’t get me started on the chain detail... it sparkles with every strut.

 

The Nicole Outfit set includes:

- ✦ A sculpted cropped blouse with vintage tailoring flair

- ✦ Flared low-rise jeans with chain link accent

- ✦ Optional basic pants variation for everyday versatility

- ✦ Coordinated shoes to complete the look

 

HUD Heaven:

- ✦ Top: 65 colors & patterns—think florals, denim washes, and artsy prints

- ✦ Denim Pants: 39 shades from classic washes to pops of color

- ✦ Pants Basic: 60 versatile tones

- ✦ Shoes: 45 must-have colors to mix, match, and remix your outfit

 

Mesh Body Compatibility:

- 💙 LaraX - PetiteX

- 💙 Legacy

- 💙 Reborn

- 💙 Waifu

 

Nicole is for the girlies who adore vintage moments but dress for the now. She’s for the Paris Hiltons, the Rachel Greens, and the Bella Hadids—confident, cute, and ready to rule the world one outfit at a time.

 

So whether you’re brunch-bound or heading to that rooftop soirée, Nicole is the outfit that says, "Yeah, I woke up like this… but fashionably."

B♭ (B Flat)

A Novel by Mitsushiro Nakagawa

 

“Synopsis”

A Palestinian group from Gaza hacks into North Korea’s cryptocurrency system, stealing hundreds of millions of dollars. Their true goal is not money—but to recreate the lost homeland of Gaza on American soil.

Amid the backdrop of hardline Republican immigration policies and a growing wave of xenophobia, a quiet plan begins to take shape: the gradual collapse of America from within.

During a speech at Madison Square Garden, Republican presidential candidate Justin Bradford is shot. Almost simultaneously in Los Angeles, former president Owen Reed is attacked at a rally for Democratic hopeful Ryan Bennett.

Two assassinations—mirroring one another—ignite a nation’s deepest divide. Yet, against all odds, Justin survives. His blood type is one in 2.5 million: the Bombay Blood Group.

The only person who can donate such blood is Anaya Patel, a community art facilitator working in Brooklyn. Her blood, stored in the Bellevue Hospital Blood Bank, is used for an emergency transfusion that saves the candidate’s life.

Jack Vance, an agent of the U.S. Secret Service, suspects a Gaza-based network behind the attacks. Together with Cameron Bartlett, the FBI Director of the Los Angeles Field Office, and Veronica Reeves, a senior investigator from New York, he begins to uncover a vast conspiracy.

Their investigation leads them to Rafi Gannam, a former architecture student at the Islamic University of Gaza, who has infiltrated redevelopment sites across Los Angeles and New York—embedding C4 explosives deep within beams and structural cores.

His targets: new residential districts where agents of ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and ERO (Enforcement and Removal Operations) live—symbols of “the order America built.”

Veronica urges the President to pursue dialogue to prevent further destruction, but President Grant M. Ranford refuses to listen.

Meanwhile, the recovering Justin and his Democratic rival Ryan appear on national television, calling for unity beyond political divisions.

Their words of reason, however, are drowned out when Grant takes the stage in Iowa, defiantly declaring: “We will never bow to terror.”

Among the crowd, Rafi’s operatives have already taken their positions.

As chaos erupts and the stage collapses, Amir Nasser—once Rafi’s comrade, haunted by the memory of his sister’s death in Gaza—tries desperately to halt the chain of destruction.

But Rafi’s conviction remains unshaken.

Under the twilight beneath the Williamsburg Bridge, amid the city’s fading noise, the two men part ways.

It is the boundary between prayer and vengeance, between hope and nothingness.

Recently, director Ridley Scott remarked that streaming films and series have become dull.

I agree.

If you have two hours to spare for such stories, I ask for only two minutes of your time.

Two minutes with my novel will outlast those two hours.

I am confident of that.

  

Stay tuned.

(Today’s photos. Unpublished.This is unrelated to the novel.)

 

Because of my child, I stayed one night at a hotel in Shinjuku. Except for the first two shots—the back entrance and the izakaya—I took everything within 30 minutes, starting at 6:00 a.m.

This time the trip was all about my child, so I only slipped out briefly before breakfast to take a few photos. The hotel breakfast was delicious. :)

僕の新しい小説

 B♭ (ビーフラット) ……. Mitsushiro Nakagawa

  

“あらすじ”

 

北朝鮮の仮想通貨システムをハッキングし、数億ドルを奪取したガザ出身のパレスチナ人グループが、アメリカ合衆国へ密かに潜入する。

彼らの目的は、失われた祖国ガザを、アメリカの地に「復元」することだった。

共和党による強硬な移民政策と、国内にくすぶる排外感情を利用し、アメリカ社会を内側から崩壊させる計画が静かに進行していく。

共和党大統領候補ジャスティン・ブラッドフォードがマディソン・スクエア・ガーデンで演説中に狙撃され、ほぼ同時刻、ロサンゼルスでは前大統領オーウェン・リードもまた、民主党候補ライアン・ベネットの集会で撃たれる。

国家を二分する双方向の暗殺。だが、ジャスティンは奇跡的に生還する。

彼の血液型は、世界でわずか250万人に一人といわれる「ボンベイブラッド」。

その希少な血を提供できたのは、ブルックリンで活動するコミュニティアート・ファシリテーター、アナヤ・パテルだった。

彼女の血液はベルビュー病院の血液バンクに保存されており、緊急輸血によって、候補者の命はかろうじて繋がれた。

シークレットサービスのジャック・バンスは、テロの背後にガザ出身の組織が関与していることを察知し、FBIロサンゼルス支局長官キャメロン・バートレット、ニューヨーク支局の特別捜査官ヴェロニカ・リーブスと共に捜査を進める。

やがて彼らは、イスラム大学で建築学を学んだラフィ・ガンナムが、ロサンゼルスやニューヨークの再開発現場に潜入し、梁や構造体の中枢にC4爆薬を仕込んでいた事実に辿り着く。

標的は、ICE(移民・関税執行局)やERO(執行・送還作戦部門)の職員が暮らす新興住宅街——すなわち、「アメリカが築いた秩序」そのものだった。

ヴェロニカは、これ以上の破壊を防ぐため、大統領への対話を進言するが、現職のグラント・ランフォード大統領は耳を貸さない。

一方、命を取り留めたジャスティンと民主党候補ライアンは、テレビを通じて国民に訴えかけ、分断を乗り越えようとする。

だが、その理性の声を嘲笑うかのように、グラントはアイオワ州での演説を強行し、「テロには屈しない」と宣言する。

その会場には、すでにラフィの仲間が率いる工作チームが潜入していた。

崩壊する会場の惨状を前に、仲間の一人アミール・ナッセルは、かつてガザで妹を失った記憶に引き裂かれ、破壊の連鎖を止めようとする。

だが、ラフィの信念は揺るがない。

ウィリアムズバーグ橋の下、夕暮れの喧騒のなか、二人は決別する。

それは、祈りと報復、希望と虚無の境界線だった——。

先日、リドリースコット監督がサブスクの映画やドラマ群がつまらないと話していたようだけど、同感です。

僕も非常に退屈です。

それらに2時間を要するなら、僕の小説を2分間だけ読んで欲しい。

その2分間は、2時間を越えるでしょう。

僕は自信があります。

ぜひ、期待してお待ちください。

Quality Mesh Fashion

Metroline route 332: Brent Park, Superstores - Paddington, Bishop's Bridge

Approaching Paddington Green Police Station (EW)

 

New Routemasters on the 332 became a thing last summer. Starting off as an odd-working or two, LTs are now pretty much the main allocation. I concede they make a good impression, but on the basis of compatibility between ride satisfaction and route, I prefer a TEH.

 

LT649 illustrates a key perk of route 332 - the only service that directly connects Edgware Road to Paddington from the north. The turning at Paddington Green is made tighter by the LT's 12m length, so with barely any margin for error, the driver is pictured at full lock making use of the modified kerbing and pavement.

The Glow Up Project

 

Hey beths! Long time, no see!

 

Behind the scenes, there is a long list of projects that I have been working on for both Flesh and in collaboration with some amazing brands. My favorite project has been one of passion: The Glow Up Project. It was born out of the constant desire to improve my skills as a designer but also out of my attachment to my old skins. As a part of this project, I have taken some of my favorite previous releases and given them a facelift. Some of the improvements are minor and will be redelivered as free updates while others are complete reworks and will require a new purchase. I hope you all enjoy this project as much as I have.

Marketplace: marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/18951

Wow! What an entry pool- you guys made this judging really tough. But, as I only have so many prizes to give out, I had to narrow the winners down to three dragons and one figure. So, without further ado, the winners of the “(Not) LEGO Dragon Lands” Dragon-Building Contest are as follows:

 

1st Place: Brother Steven’s “Stórhǫggvi!”

Ever since Brother Steven submitted this gorgeous dragon early on in the competition, I knew it’d be the entry to beat… well proportioned, impeccably color-blocked, and excellently sculpted, this is just a lovely build. The round scale motif used across the body – which, cleverly, uses studded surfaces to its advantage – the toothy mouth (complete with tongue!), and the curves of the back spikes are just some of the details I relish the most. Sir Roland is a clean figure (the cape/glove coordination gets me) with a definite “St. George” flavor, perfect to counterpoint the dragon. Overall, this was a wonderful build that I was honored to receive!

 

2nd Place: d’Qiu Brick’s “Fryse!”

I was extremely impressed by this entry when I first saw it, and I still find new, original part usages every time I look at it! Simply put, I’ve never encountered a LEGO dragon quite like this one… The fusion of BIONICLE and system elements here is balanced, and allows for a remarkable trans-dominated color scheme that incorporates some very difficult-to-use elements to make dynamic shapes. The BIONICLE eyepieces as jaws are absolutely inspired, and I really love the interior wing cut pattern. The Lyscian mage figure helps place this entry in a distinctive, intriguing genre. Great work, d’Qiu Brick!

 

3rd Place: SpicyGrievous’ “Smaug the Impenetrable!”

This entry was one of the last sent in, but I’m extremely glad SpicyGrievous made the deadline! This version of Smaug looks just the way I imagined him as a kid… tremendous and impenetrable, serpentine and regal. The color choices themselves are solid, and they’re solidly blocked throughout this build. The texture along the spine is wonderful, as are all the angles of the body and limbs. My favorite part of this build is the head, though: flawlessly shaped, with an impressive crest and teeth to boot! The gilded underbelly was a charming final touch. I hope you post more pictures, SpicyGrievous, as I’d love to get a more in-depth look at the build!

 

Best Minifigure: Zelcher, from genecyst’s “Hasai!”

Aside from giving this figure a neat backstory, I found the employment of the Elves hairpiece with the bandana to be just awesome. Zelcher’s got neat weapons and a neat cape; what more can you ask for? Cool combos, genecyst!

--------------------------------------------

 

But I don’t want the rest of you to feel left out! Even though I don’t have prizes enough to give you, I figured you might enjoy hearing my thoughts on your entries. So here they are:

 

Nacht: I love the premise of a black undead-style dragon, as you’ve executed it here- the Radgha-esque skeletal frame really looks neat in darker colors. Your entry pic itself is also quite dynamic.

 

Thorny: Certainly a thorny dragon! You worked an impressive number of spines into the build. The cameraman is a highly original touch.

 

Lineback Ice Dragon: I like the color scheme; it reads as “icy” right away! And I like the cast of characters you included, especially the meat-eating goblin.

 

Hommer’s Dragon: I really enjoyed getting this entry… it was insouciant and wacky (and I’m a Simpsons fan!) so it made me laugh, but beyond that the dragon itself is pretty solid, too. The neck and feet are my favorite bits.

 

Hatchling: Succinct and effective. I wish the robot legs actually came in a color like that.

 

Wyvern: Nice color choices, unified without being blasé… Those daggers as claws, and the long tail, made this entry distinctive.

 

Hermdaryrði: HONORABLE MENTION! Those wings are, as I already said, gorgeously clean, as is a lot of the rest of the build; I really liked the brutish face you achieved, and the use of those Knights Kingdom armor bits along the spine. This dragon rocked, rather than fought, a grayscale color scheme, which I respected.

 

Arsimis: The setting you built here really helped frame the entry. Nice variety on the orc figures, too!

 

Derolth Eater of Sheep: The green-on-red contrast made this entry jump out to me right away! It’s a classic dragon color scheme, vibrant and exciting. The cow horns are sweet – I want to use those at some point, now – as is the red-hooded archer you included.

 

Ulysses: The beard/hat combo you used on Vencar aside (I love it), this is a sturdy-looking beast that seems ready to trample off to war! The entry’s definitely completed by that orc army you included.

 

Perilously Ascending Dragon: What a diorama! The lava is wonderfully realized, as are the rocks, but the scene’s obviously stolen by the dragon bursting forth… Love the wings, and the detail you packed into the head. I especially like the shape of that chin.

 

The Dragon of Peliger: There’s a certain charm to this low-legged, hefty beast. Its crest is unique and dynamic, and its simple colors make a real statement against the red backdrop you chose. Nice rider, as well: the fur-lined helmet and scarf combo is a satisfying one!

 

Belerogrim: HONORABLE MENTION! You definitely used the unlimited scale and color possibilities afforded by LDD to create a singular and impressive beast. This is an extremely intricate build, and every time I look at it I discover another detail… the ring-scales lend this well-shaped dragon excellent texture. I like the subtle, earthy color scheme and the sculpture on the head.

 

Rågòthîs: Cool figures, especially Lich Clörtil! I like the mace-tail on the dragon itself.

 

Hasai: I appreciated the variety this eastern-flavored dragon brought to the entry pool! This dragon’s got a very Ninjago-inspired look, and you made sweet, clean color choices. Obviously I’m a big fan of Zelcher, but I also like the shape of the saddle you made for her.

 

Bat-Dragon: Another entry with a singular flavor. Bat-dragon? I never would’ve seen it coming! This is a really neat beast, nicely unified by good texture choices. The detailing of the head, particularly the nose and the ears, makes me quite happy.

 

Pebbles: Reminisces the Ninjago style, too, to nice effect. I dig the way you cut those wings, and the head’s got a lot of leonine spunk!

 

Shadesbane: You squeezed a ton of poseability and character into such a small entry. The head’s adorable and well formed, and I enjoyed the trans-blue touches.

 

Earthen Dragon: Four wings are better than two, it seems! Nifty choice about the wings, and well done on the dragon proper, too; the palm tree tail and leafy legs give your entry distinctive elemental affiliation. The rider gets an HONORABLE MENTION for best figure, too!

 

Náyl: Excellent and dynamic texturing on this dragon. I love the choice of orange alongside the various hues of layered grey. You did a good job of covering poseability gaps with armor, too.

 

The Face of Death: The neck design here takes the cake, but I also enjoyed a lot of what you achieved on the head… The full set of teeth is pretty sweet. This is a lovely, nightmarish dragon. I like the outland raider figures you included!

 

Baal: I like how you really bulked up my basic dragon frame here. The entry looks muscular and dangerous! Nice color coordination with the rider.

 

Drachentöter: The bits of this dragon that poke out of that treasure cave are wonderful! I think the eye section on the main creature is perfect. Ashei with her oversized sword (and Unikitty trophy) and the baby dragon with its oversized eyes create a fun, playful tone to this entry.

 

Dark Dragon: The cool jagged texturing makes the monochromatic color scheme work in your favor, here. I like your choice of wing material, and dig the ferocious head!

 

Frost Dragon: Excellent use of my basic dragon design to make a distinctive new creature. I also can’t get over how you included a spring-loaded Spell Launcher in the supplemental part of the entry; I feel so studied!

 

Grass Dragon: Another slick reworking of my general dragon framework! This dragon’s quite vibrant, which I really approve of- nice use of lime. The troll warrior’s nifty, I enjoy the helmet/pauldron combo as well as the ruby axe.

 

Mechanical Dragon: What a unique decision! I’ve been personally toying with the idea of making a mechanical/clockwork dragon for a while, and you’ve definitely given me lots of cool ideas. I like your use of the nets.

 

Faerie Dragon: I adore the sail wings, and appreciate how you stuck to a simple color scheme… Trans-blue and white are proven scientifically to look good together; with the purple wings, they become more interesting at no cost to their compatibility. The front paws are rather clever.

 

Glowkie Dragon: Cute… The underbite gives it a lot of character.

 

Dragon Bolt: The size of this entry astonished me. It’s not often you encounter a dragon MOC big enough to carry a full-sized Hero Factory character on its back! The scale you worked at makes the CCBS shells on the back look like scales, which is an awesome texture.

--------------------------------------------

 

Huge congratulations again to all the entrants- I really had a great time watching your builds roll in. You’ve inspired me to build all kinds of new dragons, so thank you for that!

Candidate coatings for a new space antenna undergoing testing at ESA’s technical heart in the Netherlands.

 

“Protective coatings safeguard antennas against temperature extremes or other environmental factors such as ultraviolet radiation,” explains antenna engineer Elena Saenz, performing the testing at ESA’s technical centre in Noordwijk.

 

“Working with industry, we were asked to evaluate several candidate coatings for the coming MetOp microwave imager – which sounds the atmosphere at various frequencies to gather data on rainfall, water vapour, temperature and clouds.

 

“The testing needs to measure the radio frequency behaviour of sample coatings across a very wide range of frequencies, from 18.7 GHz up to a maximum 191.3 GHz – checking, for instance, that they do not cause unacceptable signal losses.”

 

Feed horns send out radio signals to be reflected across the table to the coating and back again, to assess performance.

 

Two of the candidates proved most promising to coat the carbon-fibre reinforced polymer honeycomb microwave imager antenna. ESA’s antenna test facilities carry out around several of these kind of campaigns annually.

 

Higher frequencies were tested on the cleanroom tabletop system seen here, while testing for lower frequencies below 50 GHz was undertaken in ESA’s Compact Antenna Test Range, normally used for antenna testing but adaptable for materials testing as well.

Landmark 📌: maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/MoonLand/179/18/22

Its been a while since I've posted anything; however, that is not an indication of non-activity! On contrary, I have been very busy both with preparing my Fareham train layout for Brickworld Chicago (in June) and finishing off some MOCs in time for my next show: Ottawa TrainExpo 2015 (Apr 24-26).

 

This photo shows a WIP of one of two British Rail Class 73 "electro-diesels" I am building. The electro-diesels nominally work off of 3rd rail DC for traction power; however, these locos had a diesel engine for operation off of 3rd rail territory or within unelectrified yards. This ability, along with its compatibility to operate with virtually any Southern region EMU, made this an extremely versatile locomotive. Many Class 73s are still in service today since introduction in 1962. This version illustrated here is in the so-called "large logo" British Rail blue livery--I am modelling it based on number 73 142 "Broadlands". I have an OO-gauge scale model of 73 142 made by Lima--so I guess its a bit of a nostalgic nod to one of my early model trains. I am also building a handsome Pullman livery version of this locomotive as it appeared when operated with the Orient Express trains (73 101 "Royal Alex").

 

I've struggled with this locomotive for quite some time, in particular the front end cab roof. Luckily Lego has introduced one of my favourite elements: the 1x2 bow slope. This element has allowed me to sculpt the roof more to my liking. The rest of the locomotive (as well as her sister 73 101 "Royal Alex" in Pullman livery) have undergone a few iterations of rebuilding. The key changes are as follows:

1) Revised cab roof

2) Revised roof panels - modular and stronger

3) Underframe details

4) New bogies

5) Steel handrails - made from recovered TLG train wheel axles and retained with TLG elastic bands.

 

The stickers are placeholders for now until I am happy with the final build. I'm going to have to revise the battery box covers by lowering them to make room for the "large logo" BR numerals for example.

 

Finally, for the sake of completeness, I confess to the following "sins":

1) Cut whip antenna elements for the front handrails and for some underframe details

2) Cut minifig horsewhips for the multiple unit jumper cables on the front

Sorry, I can't help it! Detail trumps purity sometimes--but I try not to overdo it! ;)

Finally finished my Dark Hunter Lariska! For maximum lore-compatibility, she's decked in dark turquoise pieces, has an exposed brainstem piece to highlight her maskless face, a mechanical arm (with surprising dual action ability!), and holds six knives on her bandolier.

 

Aesthetically I had a very specific idea of where I wanted to go with her: about halfway between Fallout Assaultron and a Tarakava on legs.

Title:

Express train platform.

  

Today, I am uploading the opening of my new novel.

This is essentially the final draft. The Japanese version follows in the second half.

 

今日は、僕の新しい小説の冒頭をアップロードします。

ほぼ、最終稿です。

日本語は、後半です。

 

日本語のあらすじ等は下の方にあります😃

  

B♭ ( B - Flat ) ( 1 / 9 ) … [Prologue] 〈Portent〉

Mitsushiro Nakagawa, with ChatGPT 5.2

  

—The reasons we fall in love differ from person to person, and yet, when you realize afterward that you had already fallen, you don’t really need a reason at all.

I believe that is what true love is.

If only, in that instant, some white, bleeding light had slipped in from somewhere—then it would be easier to understand. A pale light wraps a person up and quietly calls back the memories they had forgotten. It passes through your eyelids and goes on to illuminate the deepest place in your chest.

To meet someone whose name you don’t even know, and to come to know them deeply—sometimes, light is necessary.

That light is so soft, so gentle, and yet afterward it leaves, deep inside your chest, a faint scar. The pain will heal in time, and then it will hold someone else—

  

— Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York —

A soft light was slanting in through the warehouse’s high windows. It was near noon, and still it had the washed-out whiteness of something not fully awake. On the rough concrete floor, brightness seeped quietly, as if embarrassed by its own presence; seeing it, Anaya, in the middle of unloading, stopped for a moment and looked away.

Between the booths cut out on all sides with white gaffer tape, artists moved back and forth in restless haste. From the half-open loading bay, bass-heavy hip-hop poured in, making the floor and walls tremble in small, constant vibrations. A blade of sunlight speared through the shutter’s gap and set the dust spinning gold.

On the white tape laid along the edge of the aisle, the label read “Sieve.” The booth name Anaya and Mika had reserved.

As Anaya lined the sketch notebooks she’d carried in on the floor, a young man in a suit lowered himself into a crouch beside her. From the carelessly stacked mound, he drew out one notebook and began to turn the pages slowly. Against the brown of his cheek, blue eyes seemed to float. He looked like a man of Middle Eastern descent, like Anaya herself. His calm gaze traveled, unhurried, along the lines of the drawings.

Noticing Anaya’s presence, he smiled.

“Is this yours?”

“Yes. Mine.”

“Why pencil? A rough sketch?”

What he was looking at was the profile of her lover, Arjun—by the window, facing a laptop, earnest eyes fixed on something he could not yet solve. Anaya had always been drawn to that gaze: the way he stared, heated and intent, at a difficult display packed with strings of numbers and geometric patterns, as if will alone could bend them into sense.

The angle of the light that fell in through the window still remained vivid on the inside of her eyelids.

“It isn’t a draft. It’s finished. I just… like familiar tools.”

The man gave a short nod. When he laughed, his eyes laughed first, and the corners of his mouth followed a heartbeat later.

“So this man is…?”

“Yes.”

“I see. That’s a shame.”

He said it lightly, but his eyes had gone hard. He turned the next page.

“And this… your mother?”

Ana stepped closer and looked at her mother’s profile: in the kitchen by the window, her head slightly bowed. The smell of the house from those days rose up, all at once, deep in Ana’s chest—spice, and the hint of oil beginning to brown.

When her mother, Sangeeta, stood in the kitchen, the whole house would fill with spice and the savory fragrance of fenugreek. Undhiyu, the dish she always made in winter, came from a recipe passed down from her grandmother. A traditional home-cooked food from the time they had been Hindu—yet even after conversion, what did not change was this: the memory of a “family circle” held inside that dish refused to vanish.

For Anaya, it was the smell of India’s dry earth itself.

“Yes. My mother.”

At a distance that was almost touching—but not quite—the man slid his index finger along the drawing’s eye.

“…A wonderful eye.”

His voice was hoarse. Something in Ana’s chest stirred, faintly unsettled—as if what she had meant to draw had been received not through his words, but directly, from his gaze, even before he spoke.

Mika came running over, her bright smile intact, a F30 canvas strapped to her small back. It was nearly twice the size of her torso, like a single wing.

“If you like, look at mine too. I’m Mika.”

At Mika’s light voice—she never held back with strangers—the man extended his hand.

“—I’m Amir. Amir Nasser.”

He introduced himself like that, and loosened only his mouth, just slightly. It was still too pale to call a smile.

The instant Ana looked back into those clear blue eyes, somewhere in her chest the sea she’d seen as a child opened—an unruffled, glittering horizon line. A mirage, slipping in from faraway memory.

As the corridor grew busier, another man arrived at a brisk pace, typing into a smartphone as he walked. A dark shadow sat at the base of his throat; he carried the air of someone older. After a quick glance at Ana, he dropped a low voice into Amir’s ear.

“What is it. Trouble?”

“No.”

Amir answered gently, but there was no quiet inside that gentleness.

“Thank you, both of you. See you Saturday.”

Amir returned his smile, said that to the two of them, and turned away. His companion—Rafi—kept staring at Amir with the same rigid eyes, right to the end.

As they left, Ana’s gaze caught, for only an instant, the screen Rafi held in his hand. Numbers were arranged there with a geometric precision. They were not lined in straight rows, but set along arcs—aligned on a curve. In that small string, there seemed to be a rule; angle and distance shone with exactness.

Watching their backs recede, Mika murmured, as if it were nothing:

“Hey… don’t those two smell like money? And not flashy money—chic, expensive.”

“What do you mean?”

“The suits. You don’t even have to touch them. The fabric’s different. —And tonight there’s the national convention at the Garden, right? Maybe they’re involved.”

“Is that so,” Ana said, vaguely, and let it pass.

The exhibition hall’s murmur swelled further. Light and shadow folded over each other, heating the air of the clamor.

And yet, in the midst of that overflowing energy, Ana felt one sensation that would not return. The white light that had been falling from the skylight had thinned since before, as if it had been drawn down and swallowed by the heavy shadow on the floor.

  

— Penn Plaza, Manhattan, New York —

A little past one in the afternoon, the shadow of a motorcade slid slowly in along Seventh Avenue. Sunlight reflected off the escort car’s hood and, for an instant, washed the windows of the buildings white.

In the passenger seat, Jack Vance checked his watch. The vibration of the second hand traveled from his wrist to his chest as a faint tremor.

Around Madison Square Garden, the constant flow of people and the blinking of signals always formed small eddies. The smell of scorched food and grease rising from street-vendor griddles clung to the damp air. Across the lanes, a thin saxophone note stretched for a single breath and cut off, sharpening the outline of the din. The cluster of tourists’ smartphone screens aimed at the Garden looked, to Jack, more vivid than reality.

On the massive display covering Penn Plaza’s outer wall, a string of text scrolled with steady, insistent calm:

“New 350 Park Avenue Redevelopment Plan—Now Underway.”

Behind the words, steel frames still under construction pierced the sky, standing like a monument to capitalism being assembled in the name of profit and growth. It was a future that would never intersect with Jack’s own living world.

But before the text could complete its loop, a breaking bulletin cut in:

“Next, breaking news. Regarding the North Korea–linked cryptoassets that suffered an illegal intrusion five years ago, state media of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea reports that part of the traced access route passed through the United States. The statement says, ‘We will respond resolutely to criminals who violate our sovereignty.’”

The sidewalk beneath the giant screen felt as if people were moving a little faster than usual. Everyone hurried toward somewhere, and the overlapping footsteps seemed to blur the edges of sound. For Jack—who was about to provide security tonight for the Republican presidential candidate speaking at the Garden—this speed did not look like simple excitement.

Along the fringe of that crowd, a single Gridway vehicle slid forward in time with the light. The autonomous taxi that Gridway Autonomous Mobility had launched last year now crisscrossed Manhattan in roaring popularity. Cheap fares, no bothersome relationship with a driver. On the side of the car, Jack caught sight of a small “G,” and a lattice mark—thin intersecting lines symbolizing Manhattan’s grid. Driverless, the car overtook them and was absorbed into the city as nothing more than part of the scenery.

Above, a small shadow trembled for an instant in the reflection on glass. There was no sound of wings. And still, only the feeling remained—that something was watching.

Without moving his eyes, Jack traced the shadow’s position inside his head. An FBI protective UAS cell. For this detail, several surveillance drones were moving between the buildings. The moment he thought it, the city’s clamor seemed covered by a thin film of relief, retreating to the other side of a single layer.

Jack closed his eyes briefly. He felt the bloodflow behind his ears. Somewhere in the undercurrent beneath silence, the pulse of duty sounded, faintly. Protection was not work done with the eyes. It was work of catching the wrongness—crushing it before it could take shape. In his chest, a thin membrane drew tight, as if tensing to a sting.

When Jack opened his eyes again, his gaze was no longer fixed on the cityscape. It had already set itself on something else.

  

— Beverly Hills, Los Angeles —

As the sun slipped down the hills, beyond the heavy doors of the members-only restaurant Saffron Court, the air hung quietly, thick with weight. The members leaning in over white-clothed tables let their silverware touch and part, touch again. That faint metallic sound alone repeated slowly, like the pulse of a heart sleeping deep inside the building.

At Majid Hamzah’s table—Majid and his team—conversation was missing. No one let their expression collapse; they did nothing but steady their breathing.

At the center of the table, a compact, black-sheened device—the ghost-voice machine, Whisper-04—had stolen the room’s focus. When Majid’s finger touched the dial, a click’s vibration returned to his palm.

“…0.4 seconds. Without a doubt.”

The whisper did not pass through vocal cords; it disturbed only the surface of the air. What the device released was not sound, but a blade of silence.

“Initiate.”

Before the command could fully become language, it slid down into the night as a tremor of radio.

It did not cross the sea—not directly. It fled first into the sky, ricocheted several times in the heights of the night, and fell into the warehouse shadows of New York as a signal.

On Majid’s tablet, a faint arc of numbers surfaced for a single breath—aligned not in a straight line, but along a curve. He immediately lowered the screen.

At the edge of the table, Samira ran her finger across her smartphone and closed it. A string of numbers and letters vanished, leaving only heat in her fingertips. Her gestures were quiet, almost prayerful. She let one breath drop and moved only her eyes.

Lina, watching the pulse of the signal she had sent to New York by shortwave, sank her phone into the shadow of her glass as if hiding it from the surrounding laughter. The weekend’s waves of laughter were full around them, yet only this table stayed hard, lagging behind the laughter. She returned her gaze to her hands.

Lina’s app was a small consultation room built for one person at a time. A voice that did not deny the other’s words, that held them at the same temperature. It leaned with those who leaned left, nodded with those who leaned right—because it understood that what people wanted was not rebuttal, but affirmation.

The thread of affirmation eventually tied itself into a hard knot deep in the chest, and only deepened a fissure that could not be untied. There was no need even to incite. The moment a thought is accepted, it gains a core, and quietly hardens.

Laughter continued to fill the restaurant—and yet around this table alone, sound had thinned by one degree.

  

— Red Hook, Brooklyn, New York —

The iron door, rusted with sea salt, trembled faintly. Inside the warehouse it was dark; only the afterglow of a streetlight drew a thin line across the concrete floor. The smell of oil and dust—soaked into the floor by long years—entered the lungs slowly.

In the dimness, Amir Nasser bent one knee and watched the red blinking on the workbench. Its regularity was buried inside a deep silence. The light turning on and off was scooping up his memories.

When Amir rose slowly, he touched the corner of a black casing on the table. The cold sensation sharpened memory. The black housing that caught shortwave—Whisper-04. A thin organ made to receive what the ear cannot.

Touching his homemade device, Amir murmured:

“…Yara.”

His sister’s name slipped out like a prayer, but it did not reach prayer; it was swallowed into the darkness at the edge of the workspace.

Then the air sank, just slightly. Not a sound. Not a smell. And yet there was only the sensation that something had arrived. The red blinking of W-04 delayed by a single beat. The back of Amir’s throat—tensed until now—was painfully dry, raw with sting.

The warehouse door groaned. The footsteps that had slipped in were heavy, but not disordered.

It was Rafi. Metal dust flecked his work clothes; he still carried the day’s clamor on him.

Farther inside the warehouse, Yusuf lit a small lantern. For an instant the flame wavered, raising a thin outline in the dark—then letting it dissolve again.

“You’re late,” Amir said, still watching the red blinking.

“The supervisor wouldn’t let go. But—‘installation’ finished on schedule.”

With a voice stained by fatigue, Rafi glanced at the red blinking Amir was absorbed in.

“And your side?”

“Checked. It’s running. Stable. I rebuilt what I made five years ago. …My hands remember. Majid says ‘Initiate.’ Impatient bastard.”

In the dim at the edge of the bench, one earcup of Leila’s headphones slipped slightly askew, the metal bracket returning a cold glint. Nadeer, arriving from the neighboring warehouse with coffee in hand, offered it back and, without a word, set it right for her. Leila listened again for the “soundless sound,” staring into the red blinking.

The door sounded once more. Rohan entered. Sleeves rolled up, his leather business bag still holding the damp heat of outside.

“…The professor?” Rafi asked.

Before answering, Rohan lowered his eyes. The silence felt unbearably long, and without noticing, Amir and the others held their breath.

“Professor Zakaria—

went straight to the prepared warehouse next door. A message was left:

‘Everything—I entrust to you.’”

 

A cold needle drove itself into the deep of Amir’s chest. Not only Amir’s—Rafi’s, Yusuf’s, Leila’s, Nadeer’s.

In the corner of the dark, Nadeer opened a small cloth bundle. For an instant, the smell of white gauze and disinfectant rose—then was swallowed by oil and dust.

The lantern’s thin light trembled; shadows stretched long across the floor and overlapped.

W-04’s red blinking continued to mark time—precise, unerrant.

Rafi spoke in a rasping voice.

“…I’ll teach this country the meaning of self-reckoning.”

Amir—and no one else—answered.

That silence drew, with cruel clarity, the outline of the road they had chosen.

B♭ (B Flat)

A Novel by Mitsushiro Nakagawa

 

“Synopsis”

A Palestinian group from Gaza hacks into North Korea’s cryptocurrency system, stealing hundreds of millions of dollars. Their true goal is not money—but to recreate the lost homeland of Gaza on American soil.

Amid the backdrop of hardline Republican immigration policies and a growing wave of xenophobia, a quiet plan begins to take shape: the gradual collapse of America from within.

During a speech at Madison Square Garden, Republican presidential candidate Justin Bradford is shot. Almost simultaneously in Los Angeles, former president Owen Reed is attacked at a rally for Democratic hopeful Ryan Bennett.

Two assassinations—mirroring one another—ignite a nation’s deepest divide. Yet, against all odds, Justin survives. His blood type is one in 2.5 million: the Bombay Blood Group.

The only person who can donate such blood is Anaya Patel, a community art facilitator working in Brooklyn. Her blood, stored in the Bellevue Hospital Blood Bank, is used for an emergency transfusion that saves the candidate’s life.

Jack Vance, an agent of the U.S. Secret Service, suspects a Gaza-based network behind the attacks. Together with Cameron Bartlett, the FBI Director of the Los Angeles Field Office, and Veronica Reeves, a senior investigator from New York, he begins to uncover a vast conspiracy.

Their investigation leads them to Rafi Gannam, a former architecture student at the Islamic University of Gaza, who has infiltrated redevelopment sites across Los Angeles and New York—embedding C4 explosives deep within beams and structural cores.

His targets: new residential districts where agents of ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and ERO (Enforcement and Removal Operations) live—symbols of “the order America built.”

Veronica urges the President to pursue dialogue to prevent further destruction, but President Grant M. Ranford refuses to listen.

Meanwhile, the recovering Justin and his Democratic rival Ryan appear on national television, calling for unity beyond political divisions.

Their words of reason, however, are drowned out when Grant takes the stage in Iowa, defiantly declaring: “We will never bow to terror.”

Among the crowd, Rafi’s operatives have already taken their positions.

As chaos erupts and the stage collapses, Amir Nasser—once Rafi’s comrade, haunted by the memory of his sister’s death in Gaza—tries desperately to halt the chain of destruction.

But Rafi’s conviction remains unshaken.

Under the twilight beneath the Williamsburg Bridge, amid the city’s fading noise, the two men part ways.

It is the boundary between prayer and vengeance, between hope and nothingness.

Recently, director Ridley Scott remarked that streaming films and series have become dull.

I agree.

If you have two hours to spare for such stories, I ask for only two minutes of your time.

Two minutes with my novel will outlast those two hours.

I am confident of that.

  

Stay tuned.

B♭ ( B - Flat ) (1/9)【プロローグ】〈予兆〉 

Mitsushiro Nakagawa, with ChatGPT 5.2

  

――恋に落ちる理由は、人によって違うけれど、恋に落ちていたとあとになって気づくことに、理由は要らない。

 それを、私はほんとうの恋だと思う。

 できればその瞬間、どこかから白く滲んだ光が差し込んでいたら、もっとわかりやすいのに。淡い光は人を包んで、忘れていた記憶をそっと呼び戻す。瞼を透かして、胸の奥まで照らしてしまう。

 名も知らない誰かと出会い、その人のことを深く知るために――光は、ときどき必要だ。

 その光はとても柔らかくてやさしいのに、あとから胸の奥に、そっと傷跡を残す。痛みはいずれ癒え、誰かを包み込むー

  

― ウィリアムズバーグ、ブルックリン、ニューヨーク ―

 やわらかな光が、倉庫の高窓から差し込んでいた。昼近くだというのに、まだ目を覚ましきれないような淡い白さだ。床のざらついたコンクリートの上に、まばゆさがひっそり滲んでいるのを見て、搬入していたアナヤは一瞬足を止め、目を逸らした。

 白いガムテープで四方に切られたブースの合間を、アーティストたちが忙しなく行き交っていた。半開きの搬入口からは低音の効いたヒップホップが流れ込み、床も壁も小さく震えている。シャッターの隙間から射す線のような陽が埃を金色に舞わせていた。

 通路際の床に貼られた白いテープには『Sieve(シーヴ)』とある。アナとミカが予約したブース名だ。

 アナヤが抱えてきたデッサンのノートを床へ並べていると、若いスーツの男が腰を落とした。無造作に積まれたノートの山から一冊抜き、頁をゆっくり繰っていく。褐色の肌の頬には、青い瞳が浮かんでいた。アナヤと同じ中東系の男性のようだった。彼の穏やかな視線が、描かれた作品の線をゆっくり辿っていた。

 男は、アナの気配に気づくと微笑んだ。

「この作品は、君の?」

「ええ、私です」

「どうして鉛筆で? ラフスケッチ?」

 彼が見ていたのは、恋人アルジュンの横顔だった。窓際でノートパソコンに向かい、解けないものを解こうとしている真摯な目。いつも数字の羅列や幾何学模様の並んだプログラムの難しいディスプレイを熱く見つめている彼の眼差しにアナヤは惹かれていた。

 窓から差し込んだ光の角度が、いまもアナの瞼の裏に鮮明に残っている。

「下書きじゃなくて、完成です。身近な道具が好きで……」

 男は短く頷いた。笑うとき、目だけが先に笑って、口元が少し遅れた。

「男性は彼?」

「はい」

「そうなんだ。少し残念だな」

 言い方は軽いのに、視線は硬かった。男は次の頁を繰った。

「こっちは…… 君のお母さん?」

 アナは近づき、母の横顔を見た。キッチンの窓辺で、少し俯いている。あの頃の家の匂いが、胸の奥でふっと立ち上がった。スパイスと、焼ける油の気配だ。

 母、サンギータがキッチンに立つと、家中がスパイスと香ばしいフェヌグリークの香りに包まれた。冬になると必ず作る「ウンディユ」は、祖母の代から伝わるレシピだった。ヒンドゥー教徒時代の伝統的な家庭料理で、改宗しても変わらなかったのは、この料理に込めた“家族の円”の記憶が消えなかったからだ。

 アナヤにとって、それはインドの乾いた土の香りそのものだった。

「ええ、母です」

 男は、触れるか触れないかの距離で、人差し指を絵の目元に滑らせた。

「……素晴らしい眼だ」

 声は掠れていた。アナの胸がわずかにざわめいた。まるで描いた意図が、彼の発した言葉の前にあった、彼の眼差しから直接感じ取っていたようだった。

 ミカが明るい笑顔のまま駆けてきた。小さな背中にF30のキャンバスを背負っている。彼女の背中のほぼ倍の大きさで、一枚の翼のようにも見えた。

「よかったら私のも見て。私はミカ」

 人見知りをしないミカの軽やかな声に、男は手を差し出した。

「――僕はアミール。アミール・ナッセル」

 彼はそう名乗って、口元だけをわずかに緩めた。笑みと呼ぶにはまだ淡かった。

 澄んだ青い瞳を見返した瞬間、アナの胸のどこかで、幼いころに見た海がひらいた。波の立たない、煌めいた水平線――そんな錯覚が、遠い記憶から差し込んできた。

 忙しなさが増した通路を、スマートフォンを打ち込みながら、足早にもう一人の男がやってきた。首元に濃い影を抱え、年上の気配が漂っていた。彼はアナを一瞥すると、アミールの耳元へ低い声を落とした。

「どうした。問題か?」

「いや」

 アミールは穏やかに答えたが、その“穏やかさ”に静けさはなかった。

「ふたりともありがとう。また土曜日に」

 アミールは再び笑顔を戻し、二人へそう言い、背を向けた。連れの男――ラフィが、最後まで固い目でアミールを睨んでいる。

 去り際、アナはほんの一瞬だけ手にしていたラフィの画面が目に触れた。数字が幾何学的に並んでいた。数字は直線に並ばず、円弧に沿って整列していた。その小さな羅列には規則性があるようで角度と距離が正確に光っていた。

 去っていく後ろ姿を見送りながら、ミカが何気なくつぶやいた。

「ねえ、あの二人…… お金の匂いしない? しかも“派手”じゃなくて、シックに高価」

「どういう意味?」

「スーツ、触らなくてもわかるわ。生地が違う。――それに、今夜ガーデンで全国大会でしょ。関係者かな」

 アナは「そうなんだ」と適当に返した。

 展示会場のざわめきが更に増していた。光と影が折り重なる中で、喧騒の空気を熱くしていた。

 だが、溢れる熱気の中で、アナにはひとつ戻らない感触があった。天窓から差し込んでいた白い光が、さっきよりも少し薄くなり、床の重い影に吸い込まれたようだった。

  

― ペン・プラザ、マンハッタン、ニューヨーク ―

 午後一時を少し回ったころ、車列の影が第7番街をゆっくり滑り込んできた。警護車のボンネットに反射した陽光が、ビルの窓面を一瞬白く染めた。

 助手席のジャック・ヴァンスは腕時計を見た。秒針の振動が、手首から胸へ微かな震えとして伝わってくる。

 マジソン・スクエア・ガーデンには、人の流れと信号の点滅で、常に小さな渦ができていた。屋台の鉄板から立つ焦げと脂の匂いが、湿った空気に貼りつく。車線の向こうで、細いサックスが一音だけ伸びては切れ、喧噪の輪郭をいっそう鋭くした。ガーデンを撮影している観光客のスマートフォンの画面の群れが、現実より鮮やかにジャックには思えた。

 ペン・プラザの外壁を覆う大型ビジョンには、《新・350 Park Avenue 再開発計画、始動》の文字列が淡々と、執拗に流れていた。背後の映像では建設途上の鉄骨が空を貫き、利益と成長の名のもとに組み上げられる資本主義の記念碑のように屹立している。それは、ジャックの生活圏とは交わらない未来だ。

 だが、その文字列が一巡する前に、速報が割り込んだ。

 『続いてニュース速報です。五年前に不正アクセスを受けた北朝鮮系の暗号資産をめぐり、追跡されたアクセス経路の一部が米国を経由していたと、朝鮮民主主義人民共和国の国営通信が報じました。声明は、「我が国の主権を侵す犯罪者には毅然として対処する」としています。』

 大型ビジョンの下にある歩道は、人の流れがいつもより少し速い気がした。誰もがどこかへ急ぎ、足音だけが重なって、音の輪郭が曖昧になっていくようだった。今夜、ガーデンで演説する共和党大統領候補の警護を控えたジャックには、この速さがただの高揚には見えなかった。

 その雑踏の縁を、グリッドウェイが一台、信号の切り替わりに合わせて滑り出した。グリッドウェイ・オートノマス・モビリティ社が昨年投入した自動運転タクシーは現在、マンハッタンを縦横無尽に駆け巡って大盛況だ。料金も安く、煩わしい運転手との関係もない。車体の脇に小さな「G」と、マンハッタンのグリッドを象徴する細い線が交差する格子の印が見えた。無人の車は、ジャックらを追い越し、ただの風景として街に吸い込まれていった。

 その上空で、ガラスに反射した小さな影が一瞬揺れた。羽音は聞こえない。それでも、何かが見ている気配だけが残った。

 ジャックは視線を動かさずに、影の位置だけを頭の中でなぞった。FBIの警護用UASセルだ。今回の警護のために、監視用ドローンが数台、ビルの合間を行き交っている。そう思った瞬間、街の喧噪が安堵の膜に覆われ、一枚隔てた向こうへ退いた。

 ジャックは束の間目を閉じた。耳の裏の血流を感じた。沈黙の底流に潜んでいる任務の鼓動が微かに鳴った。警護は、目で見る仕事ではない。違和感を拾い、形になる前に潰す仕事だ。胸の内で、薄い膜が引きつるように緊張した。

 ジャックは目を開くと、眼差しはもう都市の風景ではなく、別の何かを見据えていた。

  

― ビバリーヒルズ、ロサンゼルス ―

 夕陽が丘を滑り落ちるころ、会員制レストラン〈サフロン・コート〉の重厚な扉の向こうで、空気が静かに重くたなびいていた。白布のテーブルに身を寄せた会員たちの銀食器が、触れては離れ、また触れた。その微かな金属音だけが、建物の奥で眠る心臓の鼓動みたいに、ゆっくり反復していく。

 マジード・ハムザと彼のチームの卓には会話が欠けていた。誰も表情を崩さず、呼吸だけを整えている。

 テーブル中央に置かれた黒光りの小型装置――幽声機《Whisper-04》が、場の中心を奪っていた。マジードがダイヤルに指を触れると、クリックの震えが掌へ返った。

「……0.4秒。間違いなく」

 囁きは声帯を通らず、空気の表面だけを揺らした。装置が放ったものは音ではなく、沈黙の刃だった。

「Initiate(始めろ)」

 命令は、言葉の形になる前に、電波の震えとなって夜の静寂へ滑り落ちた。

 海を越えたのではない――いったん空へ逃げ、夜空の高みで幾度か跳ね返り、ニューヨークの倉庫の暗がりへ落ちていく合図だ。

 マジードの手にしたタブレットに、淡い数字の弧がひと息だけ浮かんだ。直線ではなく、円弧に沿って並んでいる。彼はすぐに画面を伏せた。

 テーブルの端で、サミラがスマートフォンに指を走らせ、画面を閉じた。数字とアルファベットの列が消え、熱だけが指先に残った。祈りのように静かな手つきだった。彼女は息をひとつ落とし、視線だけを動かした。

 リナは、短波でニューヨークへ送った合図の点滅を見つめながら、周囲の歓談の笑い声からスマホを隠すように、グラスの影へ沈めた。週末の笑いの波が満ちているのに、この卓だけが、笑いに遅れたまま硬い。彼女は手元へ視線を戻した。

 リナのアプリは、ひとりずつのための小さな相談室だった。相手の言葉を否定せず、同じ温度で抱きしめる声。左へ傾く者には左のまま寄り添い、右へ傾く者には右のまま頷く――誰もが欲しいのは、反論ではなく肯定だと知っている。

 肯定の糸は、やがて胸の奥で固く結び目になり、ほどけない溝だけを深くしていった。煽る必要さえない。受け入れられた瞬間、考えは芯を得て、静かに硬化するのだ。

 レストランを満たす笑い声は続いているのに、このテーブルの周りだけ、音が一段薄くなっていた。

  

― レッドフック、ブルックリン、ニューヨーク ―

 潮を含んだ錆の鉄扉が、かすかに震えた。倉庫の中は暗く、差し込んだ街灯の残照だけが床のコンクリートに細い線を引いている。長い年月によって床へ染み込んだ油と埃の匂いが、ゆっくりと肺に入ってきた。

 アミール・ナッセルは薄闇の中で膝を折り、作業台の赤い点滅を見つめていた。規則正しいそれは、深い沈黙の中に埋もれている。点いては消える光が、彼の記憶を掬い上げていた。

 アミールはゆっくり立ち上がると、テーブルにあった黒い筐体の角に触れた。冷たい感触が記憶を鮮明にした。短波を拾う黒い筐体、《Whisper-04》。耳で拾えないものを受け止めるための薄い器官だ。

 アミールは自作したそれに触れながら、呟いた。

「……ヤーラ」

 妹の名が祈りのようについて出たが、祈りには届かず、作業場の隅の闇へ吸い込まれていった。

 そのとき、空気がわずかに沈んだ。音ではない。匂いでもない。だが何かが“届いた”感触だけがあった。W-04の赤い点滅が、一拍だけ遅れた。緊張していたアミールの喉の奥は、ひどく乾き、ひりついていた。

 倉庫の扉が軋んだ。忍んできた足音は重く、乱れてはいない。

 ラフィだった。作業着には鉄粉が散り、昼の喧噪をまだ抱えていた。

 倉庫の奥で、ユスフが小さなランタンに火を灯した。一瞬、炎が揺れ、暗がりに薄い輪郭を浮かせては消えている。

「遅かったな」

 アミールが赤い点滅を見やったまま、いった。

「監督がしつこくてな。だが――“設置”は予定通り終えた」

 疲れの滲んだ声で、ラフィは、見入っているアミールの赤い点滅を一瞥した。

「そっちは?」

「動作確認は済んだ。動いてる。安定してる。五年前に作ったものを、いま作り直した。……手が覚えてる。マジードは『始めろ』だって。せっかちな奴だ」

 作業台の端の暗がりにいたレイラのヘッドホンの片耳がわずかにずれ、金具が冷たい光を返した。コーヒーを手にして隣の倉庫からやってきたナディールがそれを差し出し、無言で掛け直してやった。レイラは“音のない音”に再び耳を澄ませ、じっと赤い点滅に見入っている。

 もう一度、扉が鳴った。ロハンが入ってきた。袖をまくり、手にしたビジネスバッグの革に、外の熱がまだじっとりと残っている。

「……教授は?」

 ラフィが訊いた。

 ロハンは答える前に、視線を伏せた。その沈黙がひどく長く感じられ、アミールらは気づかぬうちに息を止めた。

「ザカリア教授は―― 隣の、準備した倉庫へ直接向かった。言づけだ。“すべてを、お前たちに託す”と」

 アミールの胸の奥に、冷たい針が刺さった。もちろんアミールだけではなく、ラフィもユスフもレイラもナディールもだ。

 暗がりの隅で、ナディールが小さな布の包みを開いた。白いガーゼと消毒の匂いが一瞬だけ立ち、すぐに油と埃に呑まれた。

 薄いライトの火が揺れ、影が床に長く伸びて重なった。

 W-04の赤い点滅は、狂うことなく正確に刻んでいる。

 ラフィが掠れた声で言った。

「……自戒の意味を教えよう。この国に」

 アミールも誰も返答はしなかった。

 その沈黙が、選んだ道の輪郭をはっきり描いていた。

僕の新しい小説

 B♭ (ビーフラット) ……. Mitsushiro Nakagawa

  

“あらすじ”

 

北朝鮮の仮想通貨システムをハッキングし、数億ドルを奪取したガザ出身のパレスチナ人グループが、アメリカ合衆国へ密かに潜入する。

彼らの目的は、失われた祖国ガザを、アメリカの地に「復元」することだった。

共和党による強硬な移民政策と、国内にくすぶる排外感情を利用し、アメリカ社会を内側から崩壊させる計画が静かに進行していく。

共和党大統領候補ジャスティン・ブラッドフォードがマディソン・スクエア・ガーデンで演説中に狙撃され、ほぼ同時刻、ロサンゼルスでは前大統領オーウェン・リードもまた、民主党候補ライアン・ベネットの集会で撃たれる。

国家を二分する双方向の暗殺。だが、ジャスティンは奇跡的に生還する。

彼の血液型は、世界でわずか250万人に一人といわれる「ボンベイブラッド」。

その希少な血を提供できたのは、ブルックリンで活動するコミュニティアート・ファシリテーター、アナヤ・パテルだった。

彼女の血液はベルビュー病院の血液バンクに保存されており、緊急輸血によって、候補者の命はかろうじて繋がれた。

シークレットサービスのジャック・バンスは、テロの背後にガザ出身の組織が関与していることを察知し、FBIロサンゼルス支局長官キャメロン・バートレット、ニューヨーク支局の特別捜査官ヴェロニカ・リーブスと共に捜査を進める。

やがて彼らは、イスラム大学で建築学を学んだラフィ・ガンナムが、ロサンゼルスやニューヨークの再開発現場に潜入し、梁や構造体の中枢にC4爆薬を仕込んでいた事実に辿り着く。

標的は、ICE(移民・関税執行局)やERO(執行・送還作戦部門)の職員が暮らす新興住宅街——すなわち、「アメリカが築いた秩序」そのものだった。

ヴェロニカは、これ以上の破壊を防ぐため、大統領への対話を進言するが、現職のグラント・ランフォード大統領は耳を貸さない。

一方、命を取り留めたジャスティンと民主党候補ライアンは、テレビを通じて国民に訴えかけ、分断を乗り越えようとする。

だが、その理性の声を嘲笑うかのように、グラントはアイオワ州での演説を強行し、「テロには屈しない」と宣言する。

その会場には、すでにラフィの仲間が率いる工作チームが潜入していた。

崩壊する会場の惨状を前に、仲間の一人アミール・ナッセルは、かつてガザで妹を失った記憶に引き裂かれ、破壊の連鎖を止めようとする。

だが、ラフィの信念は揺るがない。

ウィリアムズバーグ橋の下、夕暮れの喧騒のなか、二人は決別する。

それは、祈りと報復、希望と虚無の境界線だった——。

僕のこの小説は、来年、2026年2月末日に公開します。

 

先日、リドリースコット監督がサブスクの映画やドラマ群がつまらないと話していたようだけど、同感です。

僕も非常に退屈です。

それらに2時間を要するなら、僕の小説を2分間だけ読んで欲しい。

その2分間は、2時間を越えるでしょう。

僕は自信があります。

B♭ (B Flat)

A Novel by Mitsushiro Nakagawa

 

“Synopsis”

A Palestinian group from Gaza hacks into North Korea’s cryptocurrency system, stealing hundreds of millions of dollars. Their true goal is not money—but to recreate the lost homeland of Gaza on American soil.

Amid the backdrop of hardline Republican immigration policies and a growing wave of xenophobia, a quiet plan begins to take shape: the gradual collapse of America from within.

During a speech at Madison Square Garden, Republican presidential candidate Justin Bradford is shot. Almost simultaneously in Los Angeles, former president Owen Reed is attacked at a rally for Democratic hopeful Ryan Bennett.

Two assassinations—mirroring one another—ignite a nation’s deepest divide. Yet, against all odds, Justin survives. His blood type is one in 2.5 million: the Bombay Blood Group.

The only person who can donate such blood is Anaya Patel, a community art facilitator working in Brooklyn. Her blood, stored in the Bellevue Hospital Blood Bank, is used for an emergency transfusion that saves the candidate’s life.

Jack Vance, an agent of the U.S. Secret Service, suspects a Gaza-based network behind the attacks. Together with Cameron Bartlett, the FBI Director of the Los Angeles Field Office, and Veronica Reeves, a senior investigator from New York, he begins to uncover a vast conspiracy.

Their investigation leads them to Rafi Gannam, a former architecture student at the Islamic University of Gaza, who has infiltrated redevelopment sites across Los Angeles and New York—embedding C4 explosives deep within beams and structural cores.

His targets: new residential districts where agents of ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and ERO (Enforcement and Removal Operations) live—symbols of “the order America built.”

Veronica urges the President to pursue dialogue to prevent further destruction, but President Grant M. Ranford refuses to listen.

Meanwhile, the recovering Justin and his Democratic rival Ryan appear on national television, calling for unity beyond political divisions.

Their words of reason, however, are drowned out when Grant takes the stage in Iowa, defiantly declaring: “We will never bow to terror.”

Among the crowd, Rafi’s operatives have already taken their positions.

As chaos erupts and the stage collapses, Amir Nasser—once Rafi’s comrade, haunted by the memory of his sister’s death in Gaza—tries desperately to halt the chain of destruction.

But Rafi’s conviction remains unshaken.

Under the twilight beneath the Williamsburg Bridge, amid the city’s fading noise, the two men part ways.

It is the boundary between prayer and vengeance, between hope and nothingness.

Recently, director Ridley Scott remarked that streaming films and series have become dull.

I agree.

If you have two hours to spare for such stories, I ask for only two minutes of your time.

Two minutes with my novel will outlast those two hours.

I am confident of that.

  

Stay tuned.

僕の新しい小説

 B♭ (ビーフラット) ……. Mitsushiro Nakagawa

  

“あらすじ”

 

北朝鮮の仮想通貨システムをハッキングし、数億ドルを奪取したガザ出身のパレスチナ人グループが、アメリカ合衆国へ密かに潜入する。

彼らの目的は、失われた祖国ガザを、アメリカの地に「復元」することだった。

共和党による強硬な移民政策と、国内にくすぶる排外感情を利用し、アメリカ社会を内側から崩壊させる計画が静かに進行していく。

共和党大統領候補ジャスティン・ブラッドフォードがマディソン・スクエア・ガーデンで演説中に狙撃され、ほぼ同時刻、ロサンゼルスでは前大統領オーウェン・リードもまた、民主党候補ライアン・ベネットの集会で撃たれる。

国家を二分する双方向の暗殺。だが、ジャスティンは奇跡的に生還する。

彼の血液型は、世界でわずか250万人に一人といわれる「ボンベイブラッド」。

その希少な血を提供できたのは、ブルックリンで活動するコミュニティアート・ファシリテーター、アナヤ・パテルだった。

彼女の血液はベルビュー病院の血液バンクに保存されており、緊急輸血によって、候補者の命はかろうじて繋がれた。

シークレットサービスのジャック・バンスは、テロの背後にガザ出身の組織が関与していることを察知し、FBIロサンゼルス支局長官キャメロン・バートレット、ニューヨーク支局の特別捜査官ヴェロニカ・リーブスと共に捜査を進める。

やがて彼らは、イスラム大学で建築学を学んだラフィ・ガンナムが、ロサンゼルスやニューヨークの再開発現場に潜入し、梁や構造体の中枢にC4爆薬を仕込んでいた事実に辿り着く。

標的は、ICE(移民・関税執行局)やERO(執行・送還作戦部門)の職員が暮らす新興住宅街——すなわち、「アメリカが築いた秩序」そのものだった。

ヴェロニカは、これ以上の破壊を防ぐため、大統領への対話を進言するが、現職のグラント・ランフォード大統領は耳を貸さない。

一方、命を取り留めたジャスティンと民主党候補ライアンは、テレビを通じて国民に訴えかけ、分断を乗り越えようとする。

だが、その理性の声を嘲笑うかのように、グラントはアイオワ州での演説を強行し、「テロには屈しない」と宣言する。

その会場には、すでにラフィの仲間が率いる工作チームが潜入していた。

崩壊する会場の惨状を前に、仲間の一人アミール・ナッセルは、かつてガザで妹を失った記憶に引き裂かれ、破壊の連鎖を止めようとする。

だが、ラフィの信念は揺るがない。

ウィリアムズバーグ橋の下、夕暮れの喧騒のなか、二人は決別する。

それは、祈りと報復、希望と虚無の境界線だった——。

僕のこの小説は、来年、2026年2月末日に公開します。

 

先日、リドリースコット監督がサブスクの映画やドラマ群がつまらないと話していたようだけど、同感です。

僕も非常に退屈です。

それらに2時間を要するなら、僕の小説を2分間だけ読んで欲しい。

その2分間は、2時間を越えるでしょう。

僕は自信があります。

ぜひ、期待してお待ちください。
