The new KMR-19N rifle by Kalashnikov was recently introduced in SHOT Show '21, and certainly stood out as an odd one among the bunch. It is, in every sense, a 'revamp' of the venerable Kalashnikov design with a lot of new features mixed in without sacrificing compatibility. Featuring a new 'unified' barrel trunnion assembly, it enables the user to easily swap between different barrels. It features a heavy-duty 1.5mm-thick stamped lower and upper receiver, which can certainly withstand some of the heavier calibers it's chambered in, like .308 and 7.62x54mmR. It can also use intermediate calibers like 5.45x39mm, 7.62x39mm, 6.1x39mm and .223. It features a slick dust cover that protects the charging handle recess, a brand-new lower receiver with an ambi thumb fire selector and charging handle but no provision for AK fire selectors, a receiver-mounted aperture sight, and with a completely different bolt and gas assembly. The stock is fully adjustable for cheek weld and length of pull, and also side-folding. What's fun is that you can still use the same old stocks, scope mounts, gas assemblies and bolts from your old AKs - I can just mix-and-match my AK-105 gas block, my rail adapter, Ultimak gas tube, WASR bolt and Zenitco stock and it'll still run perfectly well with them. A wide variety of handguard and pistol grip selections are going to be available as well. It's gonna be available in not just different calibers but also barrel lengths, from 14.5in up to 22in. And mind you, these barrels are heavier than they look.

KMR-19Nb: 6.1x39mm (35-rnd mag), 22' brl, normal gas tube, long gas block, enclosed front sight

KMR-19Nc: 6.1x39mm (25-rnd mag),16' brl, long gas tube, long gas block, iron sight on gas block

KMR-19Nd 5.45x39mm (20-round mag), 16' brl, normal gas tube, normal gas block, AK front sight

KMR-19Nd .308 (20-rnd mag), 14.5' brl, long gas tube, normal gas block, no front sight

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

I didn't really know what kind of description to write, but there you go. It's another AK revamp that tries to reinvent the wheel, with a lot of slick stuff going on with it. I have no idea how this came to being, but I hope you like it.

Boulevard des Lumières by Brickester

This is my very first 'Moc'. The idea was to create a building inspired in the Haussmann style present in most of central Paris, without any piece count limit that would keep the modular compatibility and the minifig scale. So this is not a direct replica of any particular one. The street name is also fictional, there is no 'Boulevard des Lumières' in Paris, but its spirit is highly Parisian.

PACIFIC OCEAN (Apr. 19, 2021) – Capt. Timothy Quast, the embarked Medical Treatment Facility’s commanding officer aboard Military Sealift Command hospital ship USNS Mercy (T-AH 19), watches an MV-22B Osprey assigned to Air Test and Evaluation (HX) Squadron 21 of Naval Air Station (NAS) Patuxent River, Md., land from the ship’s primary flight control tower Apr. 19. Mercy is underway off the coast of Southern California completing Dynamic Interface Testing, where the ship’s aviation facilities will be evaluated for compatibility with the V-22 Osprey and MH-60 Seahawk, and establish launch and recovery windows in adverse weather conditions. Mercy recently returned to its homeport in San Diego from a regular overhaul in Portland, Ore., where improvements were made to its flight deck to support multiple aircraft platforms. Mercy must be in a five-day-activation status in order to support missions over the horizon, and be ready, reliable and resilient to support mission commanders.

XW566, SEPECAT Jaguar T.2, Farnborough, 05-09-1972 by Gordon Riley

This aircraft was the initial RAF Jaguar B (two-seat Trainer) and the final prototype (B08). First flown on August 30th 1970, this eighth prototype had 80% of the airframe to production standard. Used initially by BAC at Warton as a trials aircraft, it carried out low light TV (LLTV) work and some helmet-mounted display research. It spent some time at AAEE Boscombe Down in various trials, including rough-field take-off and landing, and was part of further LLTV trials undertaken with RAE Hunter T7 WV383 - also in the FAST collection. XW566 arrived at Farnborough on 3rd February 1982 with a LLTV pod mounted on the fuselage centre-pylon. After returning from Kemble, newly resplendent in it's 'raspberry ripple' paint scheme, it was used to trial and evaluate the Smiths enhanced diffractive optics Head-up Display (HUD), more LLTV research and vibration measurements for ISVR at Southampton University. After its last flight on 17 June 1985, it was used at Farnborough for Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) testing, including research into external radio-frequency field penetration and lightning strikes until 2004. It arrived at FAST on the 9th June 2004.

Eucalyptus and fog, Marin County—Sony RX1 by Justin Kern

thegoldensieve.com

A good thing continues

Some six months ago, I posted almost 100 images and a few thoughts I felt were missing from the many existing RX1 reviews. The outpouring of support and interest in that article was very gratifying. When I published, I had used the camera for six full months, enough time to come to a view of its strengths and weaknesses and to produce a small portfolio of good images, but not enough time to see the full picture (pun intended). In the following six months, I have used the camera at least as frequently as in the first six and have produced another small set of good images. It should be noted that my usage of the RX1 in the last six (and especially in the last 3) months has involved less travel and more time with the family and around the house; I will share relatively few of these images but will spend some time sharing my impressions of its functionality for family snapshots as I am sure there is some interest. And let it be said here: one of the primary motivations to purchase the camera was to take more photos with the family, and after one full year I can confidently say: money well spent.

The A7/r game-changer?

In the past six months, Sony have announced and released two full-frame, interchangeable lens cameras that clearly take design cues from the RX1: the A7 and the A7r. These cameras are innovative and highly capable and, as such, are in the midst of taking the photography world by storm. I think they are compelling enough cameras that I wonder whether Sony is wasting its energy continuing to develop further A-mount cameras. Sony deserve credit for a bold strategy—many companies would have been content to allow the success of the the RX1 (and RX1R) generate further sales before pushing further into the white space left unexplored by camera makers with less ambition.This is not the place to detail the relative advantages and disadvantages of the RX1 versus the A7/r except to make the following point. I currently use a Nikon D800 and an RX1: were I to sell both and purchase the A7r + 35mm f/2.8 I would in many ways lose nothing by way of imaging capability or lens compatibility but would pocket the surplus $1250-1750. Indeed this loyal Nikon owner thought long and hard about doing so, which speaks to the strategic importance of these cameras for a company trying to make inroads into a highly concentrated market.Ultimately, I opted to hang onto the two cameras I have (although this decision is one that I revisit time and time again) and continue to use them as I have for the past year. Let me give you a quick flavor of why.

The RX1 is smaller and more discrete

This is a small a point, but my gut reaction to the A7/r was: much smaller than the D800, not as small as the RX1. The EVF atop the A7/r and the larger profile of interchangeable mount lenses means that I would not be able to slip the A7/r into a pocket the way I can the RX1. Further, by virtue of using the EVF and its loud mechanical shutter, the A7/r just isn’t as stealthy as the RX1. Finally, f/2 beats the pants off of f/2.8 at the same or smaller size.At this point, some of you may be saying, “Future Sony releases will allow you to get a body without an EVF and get an f/2 lens that has a slimmer profile, etc, etc.” And that’s just the point: to oversimplify things, the reason I am keeping my RX1 is that Sony currently offers something close to an A7 body without a built-in EVF and with a slimmer profile 35mm f/2.

The D800 has important functional advantages

On the other side of the spectrum, the AF speed of the A7/r just isn’t going to match the D800, especially when the former is equipped with a Nikon lens and F-mount adapter. EVFs cannot yet match the experience of looking through the prism and the lens (I expect they will match soon, but aren’t there yet). What’s more, I have made such an investment in Nikon glass that I can’t yet justify purchasing an adapter for a Sony mount or selling them all for Sony’s offerings (many of which aren’t to market yet).Now, all of these are minor points and I think all of them disappear with an A8r, but they add up to something major: I have two cameras very well suited to two different types of shooting, and I ask myself if I gain or lose by getting something in between—something that wasn’t quite a pocket shooter and something that was quite a DSLR? You can imagine, however, that if I were coming to the market without a D800 and an RX1, that my decision would be far different: dollar for dollar, the A7/r would be a no-brainer.During the moments when I consider selling to grab an A7r, I keep coming back to a thought I had a month or so before the RX1 was announced. At that time I was considering something like the NEX cameras with a ZM 21mm f/2.8 and I said in my head, “I wish someone would make a carry-around camera with a full frame sensor and a fixed 35mm f/2.8 or f/2.” Now you understand how attractive the RX1 is to me and what a ridiculously high bar exists for another camera system to reach.

Okay, so what is different from the last review?

For one, I had an issue with the camera’s AF motor failing to engage and giving me an E61:00 error. I had to send it out to Sony for repairs (via extended warranty and service plan). I detailed my experience with Sony Service here [insert link] and I write to you as a very satisfied customer. That is to say, I have 3 years left on a 4 year + accidental damage warranty and I feel confident enough in that coverage to say that I will have this beauty in working order for at least another 3 years.For two, I’ve spent significantly less time thinking of this camera as a DSLR replacement and have instead started to develop a very different way of shooting with it. The activation barrier to taking a shot with my D800 is quite high. Beyond having to bring a large camera wherever you go and have it in hand, a proper camera takes two hands and full attention to produce an image. I shoot slowly and methodically and often from a tripod with the D800. In contrast, I can pull the RX1 out, pop off the lens cap, line up and take a shot with one hand (often with a toddler in the other). This fosters a totally different type of photography.

My “be-there” camera

The have-everywhere camera that gives DSLR type controls to one-handed shooting lets me pursue images that happen very quickly or images that might not normally meet the standards of “drag-the-DSLR-out-of-the-bag.” Many of those images you’ll see on this post. A full year of shooting and I can say this with great confidence: the RX1 is a terrific mash-up of point-and-shoot and DSLR not just in image quality and features, but primarily in the product it helps me create. To take this thinking a bit further: I find myself even processing images from the RX1 differently than I would from my DSLR. So much so that I have strongly considered starting a tumblr and posting JPEGs directly from the RX1 via my phone or an iPad rather than running the bulk of them through Lightroom, onto Flickr and then on the blog (really this is just a matter of time, stay tuned, and those readers who have experience with tumblr, cloud image storage and editing, etc, etc, please contact me, I want to pick your brain).Put simply, I capture more spontaneous and beautiful “moments” than I might have otherwise. Photography is very much an exercise in “f/8 and be there,” and the RX1 is my go-to “be there” camera.

The family camera

I mentioned earlier that I justified the purchase of the RX1 partly as a camera to be used to document the family moments into which a DSLR doesn’t neatly fit. Over the past year I’ve collected thousands and thousands of family images with the RX1. The cold hard truth is that many of those photos could be better if I’d taken a full DSLR kit with me to the park or the beach or the grocery store each time. The RX1 is a difficult camera to use on a toddler (or any moving subject for that matter); autofocus isn’t as fast as a professional DSLR, it’s difficult to perfectly compose via an LCD (especially in bright sunlight), but despite these shortcomings, it’s been an incredibly useful family camera. There are simply so many beautiful moments where I had the RX1 over my shoulder, ready to go that whatever difficulties exist relative to a DSLR, those pale in comparison to the power of it’s convenience. The best camera is the one in your hand.

Where to go from here.

So what is the value of these RX1 going forward, especially in a world of the A7/r and it’s yet-to-be-born siblings without an EVF and a pancake lens? Frankly, at its current price (which is quite fair when you consider the value of the the body and the lens) I see precious little room for an independent offering versus a mirrorless, interchangeable lens system with the same image quality in a package just as small. That doesn’t mean Sony won’t make an RX2 or an RX1 Mark II (have a look at it’s other product lines to see how many SKUs are maintained despite low demand). Instead, I see the RX1 as a bridge that needed to exist for engineers, managers, and the market to make it to the A7/r and it’s descendants.A Facebook friend recently paid me a great compliment; he said something like, “Justin, via your blog, you’ve sold a ton of RX1 cameras.” Indeed, despite my efforts not to be a salesman, I think he’s right: I have and would continue to recommend this camera.The true value of the RX1 going forward is for those of us who have the thing on our shoulders; and yes, if you have an investment in and a love for a DSLR system, there’s still tremendous value in getting one, slinging it over your shoulder, and heading out into the wide, bright world; A7/r or no, this is just an unbelievably capable camera.

My new novel

B♭ (B Flat)

In the western reaches of Los Angeles, at the intersection of Wilshire Boulevard and Sepulveda, a seventeen–story alabaster tower rose against the sky. This was the headquarters of the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office.

The afternoon light struck its white façade, casting back a cold, austere beauty. Before it stretched a broad lawn, a hush reigning there in stark contrast to the bustle of the city. On the front of the building, the names of the FBI and the Department of Veterans Affairs stood in bold relief, the weight of the nation inscribed in stone. Nearby lay the Los Angeles National Cemetery, where the memories of the past intertwined with the pulse of the present.

Just a few blocks away, in a hotel room, tension had taken on another form. The pale red carpet caught the glare of fluorescent light, while beyond the window the unending stream of cars along Wilshire flowed like a restless artery. The faint cry of sirens mingled with the city’s din, as if the collective strain of Los Angeles were seeping into this small room.

At the front, a makeshift stage bore the American flag and the FBI seal. Tripods stood in careful rows, monitors flashing between live feeds and scrolling headlines.

Cameron R. Bartlett, Director of the FBI, squared his shoulders. With a brief glance at the papers in his hand, he drew in a quiet breath and let his eyes travel over the gathered press. Behind his composure lay a grave unease, and a resolve as unyielding as steel.

“The incident is unfolding on a scale without precedent—” His voice, low but unwavering, filled the room. Instantly, the images on the monitors tightened every chest, sharpening the taut wire of tension. The journalists steadied their breathing, fingers trembling faintly over notebooks and cameras as the dissonance grew—between the director’s calm expression and the devastation flickering across the screens.

Some rushed to send out bulletins; others adjusted their zoom lenses, struggling inwardly to shape a sense of the whole. From a corner came the faint rustle of a page turning, the smallest sounds amplified by silence. And still the tense hour dragged on, as if the looming FBI building itself watched over the press room in mute witness.

Each time the footage wavered—smoke shifting, rubble parting to reveal a fleeting figure—the reporters’ eyes snapped to the screen. Pens scratched, shutters clicked, the faint patter of keys mingling with a silence taut enough to break.

Bartlett’s gaze lingered on each journalist, conveying a weight beyond words. That quiet pressure thickened the atmosphere, the air stretched to a thread’s breaking point. From outside came the muted hum of traffic, a distant siren’s wail—the world’s noise folding into the room’s stillness, underscoring the magnitude of what was unfolding.

At last, after answering questions in terse, measured replies, Bartlett concluded:

“That is all I can say at this time.”

His curt words gave way to a new stir, rippling through the hall. The cause lay on the monitors: another feed had appeared, bearing the caption in red, flashing in the corner—Madison Square Garden, New York City—the precise moment the carnage had begun.

The reporters in Los Angeles felt their breath catch. Following those numbers, they seemed to touch the pulse of another city across the continent. The images bound the two coasts together, weaving the entire nation into one mesh of suspense.

Then the screen shifted to a different stage—New York’s press room—where a man in a dark suit stood before the glare of flashbulbs.

Jack Vance. Once a colleague of Marcus’s at the Bureau. In rare fashion, he had left the FBI under the Department of Justice to join the Secret Service under Homeland Security. Years earlier, when Vance had headed the Violent Crimes Section, a hostage standoff erupted in Oakbridge, outside Washington, D.C. Orders from headquarters forced an early assault. In the chaos, a nineteen–year–old Black youth, misidentified as the suspect, was shot dead. The true perpetrator lay elsewhere, and Vance’s team had opposed the premature entry. Yet the assault had gone forward—under the command of none other than Bartlett, now before them on the screen. Later, in the Washington field office, Bartlett had ordered subordinates to alter the report, declaring that the assault had been Vance’s decision. Vance rose in silence, flung the papers onto the table, and struck Bartlett across the face. Officially, it had ended as Vance’s “voluntary resignation” before disciplinary measures. In truth, he had been cast out.

Now Vance’s voice, faintly delayed, overlapped with the Los Angeles air. Two distant cities shared the same gravity of silence. Pens stilled, eyes fixed on the screen. Each word, each gesture etched the outline of the disaster more sharply. The chain of images streaming through the network was not mere record, but a slice of history as it unfolded. The hush in the room stretched on, awaiting a break that never came. Breathing shallow, all present were held captive by the figure of Jack Vance.

The tension, unbroken, shifted its form. From the rear seats came a fresh murmur, loosening the taut balance. Several reporters pulled out their phones, screens glowing like scattered embers in the dimness. They were not receiving news alerts. It was a direct link, sent by an anonymous hand.

Beneath Los Angeles’s cold lights, the press room now bore the weight of three overlapping spheres—the New York briefing, the strange new footage, and the lingering echo of Vance’s voice. The reporters’ focus drifted to the unknown. It was not simply information. It was a forewarning.

Marcus Dane was the first to sense it. Standing in the aisle, watching his superior Bartlett, he noticed the stir among the journalists at the center. Several had received a live video link—from the perpetrators themselves. The same ploy that had reached Jack and the others at the Garden.

Marcus immediately checked the URL and forwarded it to Tom Caldwell, once a trusted colleague in the technical division.

The footage was unmistakable: the very same “Oval Office” where Professor Zakaria Haddad had taken his own life.

“Good afternoon. My name is Amir Nasser. I was a student of Professor Zakaria Haddad, who passed away just days ago.”

Amir leaned lightly against the desk, speaking in a gentle tone, revealing a side unseen until now.

“As he told you, we once lived quietly in Gaza. We were ruled by Hamas, by their weapons and their violence. They committed unspeakable killings against Israel. But could we have stopped them? No more than you can stop your own President from wielding the power of command. You may protest in your streets, but we had only silence, living under the shadow of informants and violence. And still your President sided with Israel, again and again, unleashing bombs until not even ruins remained. We, who offered no resistance, endured strike upon strike, invasion upon invasion. Hamas made us their shields, nesting beneath our hospitals, while we, above, became the targets.”

Amir’s voice was clear, almost luminous. His youth, his neatly combed hair, the strange stillness of his blue eyes—all drew the listeners in. Nothing in his demeanor suggested violence. He lifted a glass of water from the table, sipped, and continued.

“As Professor Haddad told you, all we were given was darkness. And what does an animal do when driven into darkness?” His eyes fell to the floor, words sinking like stones.

“We lost everything—our homes, our lovers, our families. Everything. Do you not call it unjust, to die with nothing left? Is it not the human way to confront those who take? To force them to grasp what it means to be robbed? What does it mean, America, that you drink your cola unchanged, while we are stripped bare?”

He paused, then smiled faintly.

“Jack, the weekend will be a busy one.”

The smile was open, disarming—and chilling.

“In these years, the Democrats’ tolerance has faded, and the Republicans have driven immigrants to the edge. So we, scattered across this nation, have shared our knowledge, and we have reached a conclusion. ICE, who have treated us as vermin, must be re-educated.”

Since the shift in power, ICE had grown ever harsher. With offices in nearly every state, their reach extended across the land. More than twenty thousand employees in all: some seventy-eight hundred in Enforcement and Removal Operations, sixty-five hundred in Homeland Security Investigations, six thousand in the legal branch known as OPLA.

“We gained a fragment of their data. Let me be honest—only a fragment. ICE is too vast, too diffuse. But we chose two places, Jack. Los Angeles and New York. And we will tell you. That is generous, is it not? You should be grateful.”

Amir’s smile remained as he concluded:

“But remember, our purpose is re-education. Wait for it, Jack. Until then.”

僕の新しい小説。

　B♭　（ビーフラット）

　ロサンゼルスの西部、ウィルシャー大通りとセプルヴェダ通りが交差する地点にそびえる17階建ての白亜の高層ビルが、FBIロサンゼルス支局だ。

　午後の光がビルの白い外壁に反射し、支局の冷徹な美しさを放っている。

　その前には広大な芝生が広がり、周囲の喧騒とは対照的な静寂が漂っている。建物の正面にはFBIや退役軍人局の文字が掲げられ、国家の重みが息づいていた。近くにはロサンゼルス国立墓地もあり、過去と現在の記憶が交錯する場所だ。

　そのビルから数ブロック離れたホテルの一室では、緊迫した空気が別の形で立ち上がっていた。淡い赤のカーペットに蛍光灯の光が反射し、窓の向こうにはウィルシャー大通りの車列が途切れなく動いている。遠くでサイレンが混ざった街の喧騒がかすかに届き、まるで街全体の緊張がこの部屋に流れ込んでいるかのようだった。

　前方には米国旗とFBIのロゴを掲げた簡易ステージが設けられ、カメラの三脚が整然と並び、モニターには現場映像や速報テロップが次々と流れている。

　キャメロン・R・バートレットFBI長官は少し肩を張り、手元の書類に一瞥を投げると、静かに息を吸い込み、視線を記者たちに巡らせた。その目には冷静さの奥に、深い憂慮と覚悟が宿っていた。

「事件は未曾有の規模で進行中です――」低く、しかし確かな声が室内に響く。モニターの映像が一瞬にして全員の胸を締めつけ、緊張の空気がさらに鋭く張り詰めた。記者たちは呼吸を整え、心臓の鼓動を感じながら、手元のメモやカメラを操作する指先の微かな震えに気づいていた。目の前の長官の落ち着いた表情と、報道される惨状の映像の間で、胸の奥がひりつくようだった。

　ある者は速報を即座に送信し、別の者はカメラのズームを調整しながら、心の中で事件の全貌を理解しようと必死に整理する。部屋の片隅ではメモ用紙がめくられる音がかすかに響き、静かな緊迫の時間が延々と流れていた。遠くにそびえるFBIの本部ビルが、まるでこの会見室の緊張を静かに見守っているかのようだった。

　モニターに映る被害現場の映像が揺れ、煙と瓦礫の合間に時折人影が見え隠れするたび、記者たちの視線が瞬時に吸い寄せられた。

　誰もが次の言葉を待ちながらペンを走らせ、カメラのシャッターを切る。息を潜めるような静寂と、キーボードを打つ微かな打鍵音が混ざり合い、室内の緊迫感をさらに際立たせる。

　キャメロンの視線は一人ひとりの記者を確かめるように巡り、言葉にならない圧力を静かに伝えた。その沈黙が、場内の緊張を増幅させ、空気はまるで切れそうな糸のように張り詰めていた。

　外の街路を行き交う車の光やサイレンの音が、遠くで微かに響く。室内の静寂と街の喧騒が対照的に重なり、事件の重大さを肌で感じさせる時間が、ゆっくりと流れていった。

　キャメロンは、記者らへの質問へ、手短に、簡潔に答え終えるといった。

「いま、お答えできるのは以上です」

　キャメロンのそっけない言葉の流れとは別のざわめきが沸き起こった。

　そのざわめきの中心には、モニターに映し出された別の映像があった。ニューヨーク、マディソン・スクエア・ガーデン前――あの惨劇が始まった瞬間の時刻を示すテロップが、画面の隅に赤く点滅していた。

　ロサンゼルスの会見場にいる記者たちは、その数字を追いながら、陸を隔てたもうひとつの都市の脈動を肌で感じていた。時差を越えてつながる映像は、ただの中継を超え、国全体をひとつの緊張の網で縛り上げているかのようだった。

　やがて会場のスクリーンに切り替わったのは、ニューヨークの記者会見場。暗いスーツを纏ったジャックが壇上に姿を現し、フラッシュの閃光を真正面から受け止めていた。

　ジャック・ヴァンス。マーカスの元FBIの同僚だ。非常に稀なケースだったが、ジャックは司法省のFBIから国土安全保障省管轄のシークレットサービスへ移った。ジャックが当時、元FBI暴力犯罪課主任だった頃、ワシントンD.C.郊外・オークブリッジにて、人質立てこもり事件が発生した。本部からの命令で突入が早まり、現場では容疑者と誤認された１９歳の黒人青年が射殺された。実行犯は別におり、ジャックのチームは突入に反対していた。しかし、今まさにディスプレイ内で会見している昇進したキャメロンの命令で突入したのだ。FBIワシントン支局会議室にて、キャメロンが「報告書を書き換えろ」と部下へ命じ、「突入はジャックの判断だった」と報告するといった。ジャックは黙って立ち上がり、書類の束を叩きつけ、キャメロンの頬を殴った。公式には、懲戒処分前のジャックの自主退職という形で処理されたが、実質的には組織から追放されていた。

　ジャックの声は、わずかな遅延を伴いながらも、ロサンゼルスの空気に重ね合わされた。遠く離れた二つの都市が、同じ沈黙の重みを共有する瞬間だった。

　記者たちは手元のペンを止め、画面を凝視した。そこに映る言葉や仕草の一つひとつが、事件の輪郭をさらに濃くしていく。ネットを介して結ばれた映像の連鎖は、ただの記録ではなく、今まさに進行する歴史の断面を露わにしていた。会場に漂う沈黙は、ひとつの区切りを待ちながら、しかし終わりを告げることなく続いていた。誰もが画面に映るジャックの姿に釘付けとなり、呼吸さえ浅くなるのを自覚していた。

　続いていた緊張が次の瞬間、別の形を取り始めた。

　後方の記者席から、低いざわめきがふたたび広がり、場内の均衡をかすかに揺らした。何人かの記者が同時に携帯端末を取り出し、視線を走らせる。その小さな光が闇の中の焔のように散り、互いに反応し合った。

　届いたのはニュース速報ではない。匿名の送信者から直接送りつけられた、映像へのリンクだった。

　ロサンゼルスの冷たい照明の下に、ニューヨークの記者会見の緊張と、新たに流れ込んだ未知の映像とが複雑に重なり合う。ジャックの声がまだ空気に残っていたが、記者たちの意識はすでに別の方向へ引き寄せられていた。

　それはただの情報ではなく、何かが次に起ころうとしている予兆そのものだった。

　そして、その異変に最初に気づいたのが、会場の通路に立つマーカス・デインだった。

　マーカス・デインは、上司のキャメロンの様子を会場の通路から眺めていたが、会場中央部に座っていた記者らの数人がざわめいたので確認にいった。

　どうやら、記者の複数に犯人らのライブ動画のリンクが送られてきたようだ。ガーデンでジャックらに送信されたのと同じ手口だ。

　マーカスは、すぐにURLを確認し、トム・コールドウェルへ転送した。以前、技術班にいた際の信頼できる部下だ。

　映像は、ザカリアが自死した『大統領執務室』と同じようだった。

「みなさんはじめまして。私はアミール・ナッセル。先日、亡くなった私の教授、ザカリア・ハッダードの生徒だ」

　アミールは、机の前面に腰を預け、穏やかな口調で、切り出した。アナらに見せた表情とは別の、内に潜んでいた一面をさらしているようだった。

「教授が話したように、私たちはガザ地区で平穏に暮らしていた。私たちはハマスによって武器と暴力で支配されていた。彼らはイスラエルに対し、残酷な殺戮を犯した。しかし、それを私たちが止められただろうか。みなさんが、アメリカ大統領の指揮権を止めることができないように、私たちにはそれができなかった。みなさんは、抗議のデモを行えるが私たちは息を潜め、見えない密告と暴力に怯えながら生きるほかなかったのだ。にも関わらず、ひたすらみなさんの大統領はイスラエルに加担し続け、爆撃を繰り返した。まったくの無抵抗なわたしたちになんどもなんども建物の残骸すら残らないほどに爆撃を繰り返し、侵攻してきた。ハマスらは私たちを人間の盾にした。病院の地下に巣を作り、忍び込み、私たちは地上でターゲットにならざるおえなかった」

　アミールの声は透きとおって、穏やかだった。若く、きちんと整髪された髪型だけでなく神秘的な青い瞳の静けさも見ているものを引き込んだ。彼のまだ若い容貌と口調から、とても暴力的な行動に出るとは思えなかった。彼は、テーブルに置かれていた水の入ったコップを手にし、一口飲むと続けた。

「亡くなったザカリア教授が話したように、私たちに与えられたのは、闇だけだ。闇に追い込まれた動物はどうする？」

　アミールは、視線を床へ落とし、伏目がちに言葉を足した。重い語尾が床に沈んでいった。

「私たちは全てを失った。住んでいた家も、愛する恋人も、そして家族も。すべてだ。奪われたままで、死んでいくのは不公平だと思えないか？　奪った人間を悟すことこそが人間の道だろう。奪われた気持ちを永遠に理解しないのは、どうだろう？　昨日と変わらずコーラを飲めるのはどうだろう？　そう思わないか？　アメリカ」

　アミールは、続けた。

「ジャック、週末は忙しくなるぞ」

　アミールは、優しくカメラに微笑んだ。屈託のない笑顔が、見ているものを震わせた。

「この数年、民主党の寛容さは消え、共和党による移民の追い込みがひどいと思わないか？　そこで全米に散らばった私たちは知恵を出し合った。そして、結論を出した。私たちを、害獣のように扱うICEを再教育しようとね」

　大統領が共和党に変わってから、ここ数年、ICEの取り締まりが厳しくなっていた。ICEは、ニューヨーク州、カリフォルニア州を筆頭に、ほぼ全ての州に関連施設が点在している。全体の職員数は概ね20,000人以上だ。このうち、EROと呼ばれる強制送還部門・収容部門に約7,800人、HSIという捜査部門・国土安全捜査部門に約6,500人、さらにオープラと呼ばれる法務部門に約6,000人の職員が雇用されている。

「私たちは彼らの情報の一部を入手した。正直に言おう。本当に一部分だけだ。ICEは全米に散らばっていて、職員の全体の把握が困難だった。私たちは、２箇所に絞ったよ、ジャック。それが、ロスとニューヨークだ。教えてあげよう。優しいだろう？　感謝したほうがいい」

　アミールは続けた。

「教えてはあげるが、私たちの目的は再教育だ。その時を待て。ジャック。それでは」

candelabra by minions & myrmidons

22 25

found one of these pitchforks years ago and i’ve kept it in my bedroom. (you know, to control the old man). the other day, suzy brought it in from the snow and i had a little hissy. it’s not a toy, it’s a lethal weapon and, more important, it pretty much comprises my entire sculpture collection. she insisted hers was another one they’d found out in the field so i checked upstairs, and by golly, she was right. so now we have mr. and mrs. pitchfork. they’re clearly male and female, as one is straight and five-pronged and the other is curvy and four-pronged. given their compatibility, i’d say they were destined for each other. what’s a little rust when you can spend your days together in the pitchfork retirement home… soaking up the sun, playing a little 9 prong golf now and then, exaggerating 40 year old hay stories… oh, and dressing up as candelabra on very special occasions.

Stranger 64 / 100, Sissi by Jacques Lebleu

25 4

My encounter with Sissi was totally unplanned. I was walking towards a subway station on Avenida dos Aliados in the center of Porto when a small note posted on the door of an elegant building caught my eye. It announced an on-going exhibition from Lisbon artist Ana Jotta. I entered Culturgest Porto, a gallery housed in the Edifício Caixa Geral de Depósitos (which I would translate by General deposit fund Building).

Art exhibitions are held there on the ground floor level of a large, somewhat ornate, atrium with balconies and stained glass windows around it. Sissi was posted at a desk facing the door. I asked her a few questions about the Culturgest and the artist. It turned out she spoke good French. She explained me that there are larger Culturgest galleries and auditoriums in Lisbon and that the organism is funded by the Fundação Caixa Geral de Depósitos.

Mrs Jotta’s work was shown on wallpaper she has designed with collected images. It looked like wall size scrapbook pages. As I was not familiar with the artist, I found that showing her work over this background made its perception somewhat difficult in a short visit. It does however often take time to get acquainted with an artists’ vocabulary. It was however immediately apparent that her production is witty with a sense of humor. Interestingly, there was something in the hanging of the exhibition that suited the building finely and with a degree of stylistic compatibility.

As I was pleased with both the unexpected artistic discovery and our short conversation, I asked Sissi if she would agree that I shoot a quick portrait of her in this setting. You may see the result above.

Back home in Montreal, I found a 360º video of Ana Jotta’s exhibition on YouTube. It starts and ends behind Sissi seated at her desk.

I’d like to thank Sissi for taking part in my 100 strangers’ project.

Ma rencontre avec Sissi était totalement imprévue. Je marchais vers une station de métro sur l'Avenida dos Aliados, dans le centre de Porto, lorsqu’une petite note affichée sur la porte d'un bâtiment élégant a attiré mon attention. Elle annonçait une exposition en cours de l’artiste Ana Jotta originaire de Lisbonne. Derrière cette porte se trouvaient les locaux de Culturgest Porto, une galerie logée dans l’Edificio Caixa Geral de Depósitos (l’Édifice de la Caisse Générale de dépots).

Des expositions d'art y sont présentées au rez-de-chaussée d’un atrium plutôt ornementé entouré par des balcons et agrémenté de vitraux. Sissi était postée à un bureau face à la porte d’entrée. Je lui ai posé quelques questions au sujet de Culturgest et de l'artiste. Il s’est avéré qu'elle parlait bien français. Elle m'a expliqué qu'il y avait de plus importantes galeries et des auditoriums de Culturgest à Lisbonne et que l'organisme est financé par la Fundação Caixa Geral de Depósitos.

Le travail de Mme Jotta était accroché sur des murs tapissés de papiers peints conçu par ses soins à partir d’images collectées qu’elle se réappropriait. Le tout ressemblait à des pages de scrapbook format mural. Comme je ne connaissais pas l'artiste, j’ai trouvé que cette toile de fond compliquait quelque peu la perception de ses œuvres dans le contexte d’une courte visite impromptue. Il faut cependant souvent du temps pour se familiariser avec le vocabulaire d'un artiste. Il m’anéanmoins été immédiatement évident que sa production est pleine d'esprit et affiche un sens de l'humour particulier. Fait intéressant, il y avait quelque chose dans l’accrochage de l'exposition qui convenait bien au bâtiment et démontrait avec lui une certaine compatibilité stylistique.

Comme j’étais heureux à la fois de cette découverte artistique inattendue et de notre courte conversation, j’ai demandé à Sissi si elle serait d'accord que je fasse un portrait rapide d’elle dans ce contexte. Comme elle a acceptée, vous le voyez ci-dessus.

De retour à Montréal, j'ai trouvé une vidéo 360º de l'exposition d’Ana Jotta sur YouTube. Elle commence et se termine derrière Sissi assise à son bureau.

Je tiens à remercier Sissi pour avoir contribuer à mon projet de photographier 100 inconnus.

_________________________________

B♭ (B-Flat)

Further excerpt released. Just a rough draft from the beginning. Like a note. Please read if you'd like. :)

Setting: New York City.

Red, Yellow, Blue——

It was just past 7 p.m. when a light drizzle began to fall on East 52nd Street.

Anaya Patel leaned against the wall of the building next to Tot Ramen, where she was supposed to meet someone, and absently stared at the traffic light at the intersection to her right.

It was already July, yet the summer felt cooler than last year’s. She regretted stepping out in just a T-shirt.

When the light turned green, Anaya squinted, narrowing her gaze.

Kana, her old classmate, was waving and smiling as she ran toward her——

The flat ceiling of Madison Square Garden seemed to bulge slightly with the heat of the crowd, or so it appeared to Jack.

Cheers welcoming the presidential candidate clashed with shouts of outrage, rattling deep inside his ears.

Jack scanned the arena quickly before glancing back down at his iPhone. Several social media apps were open at once, and furious posts streamed across the screen.

One post in the bottom right corner—on Meta—caught his eye.

A death threat.

Presidential candidate Justin Bradford was about to take the stage with his fiancée, Eleanor Blake.

As a red spotlight—the color of the Republican Party—lit up the center of the stage, the couple stepped out.

And at that exact moment, a gunshot rang out.

It was subtle enough to be missed at first—but Jack heard it. Two shots.

As chaos erupted around him, Jack quietly closed his eyes, picturing the trajectory.

The first bullet—likely from his right, near the PA system. But that area should have been covered by agents from his own unit.

He calculated the second shot. It probably came from the left side of the stage.

It was aimed with precision, taking into account the positioning of both Justin and Eleanor.

There might have been a leak.

Then came a second report.

His colleague Ben Holloway’s voice, calm as ever.

The heart was missed, but both bullets had hit. One had grazed it and lodged in the epigastric area, just under the diaphragm.

Jack replied, equally calm.

“Justin’s Bombay blood. I confirmed it three days ago with Bellevue Hospital. They have reserves stored.”

Ben responded in a low voice, as if nothing had happened.

“Understood.”

Justin was rushed to Bellevue, the closest hospital to Madison Square Garden.

Jack called Elijah Kane directly from his smartphone.

Using WhatsApp or any other messaging app was strictly forbidden in the Secret Service.

Elijah answered before the first ring ended.

“Jack, it’s bad. We don’t have it. No Bombay blood.”

Jack was stunned.

“I confirmed it three days ago. I spoke directly to the person in charge—can't recall their name—but I saw the blood bags myself.”

After a pause, Elijah replied.

“That person died in a car accident yesterday.”

Anaya Patel waited for her husband Arjun at Tot Ramen.

With her was Mika (Sato), her best friend since college—Japanese.

Just as the server placed a steaming bowl of ramen in front of her, Anaya’s phone rang.

The caller ID said Bellevue Hospital.

She answered without hesitation.

Mika looked on, concerned.

“Is this Anaya Patel? I’m Sasha Wilson from Emergency.

You may have heard—Republican presidential candidate has been shot.

We need your blood.

Stay where you are. A Secret Service vehicle is en route.”

Following Mika’s gaze, Anaya turned to the display above the counter.

A live report from MSG was playing.

Then, a man in a sleek blue suit with brown skin approached her.

“I’m Rohan Shah, Secret Service.

Please come with me to the hospital.

The car is ready.”

He reached for her hand with urgency.

Just then, Anaya’s iPhone buzzed again. An unfamiliar number.

She tapped it.

“Hello?”

“Anaya Patel?”

“Yes. Who is this?”

“Jack. Jack Vance. Secret Service. I’ll be there shortly.”

“How do you know where I am?”

“We’re professionals. We have our ways.”

“But the Secret Service guy is already here.”

“No—he’s not!” Jack’s voice roared through the phone.

At that instant, the man in front of her pulled a rifle from under his jacket and aimed it at her forehead.

A small gunshot rang through the restaurant.

Anaya froze.

She couldn’t speak.

As the man collapsed to the floor, another figure emerged—also pointing a gun at her.

It was her husband, Arjun.

“Freeze! FBI!”

NYPD officers in uniform and FBI agents in gray suits stormed in.

“Hands behind your head! Get down on the floor!”

The cliché movie-like commands rang out as Anaya trembled. Mika, too.

But probably no one shook more than Arjun.

Jack arrived moments later.

“Anaya Patel!”

Still trembling, Anaya answered without looking up.

“That’s me.”

Jack, drenched in sweat, pulled her upright.

“We’re going to the hospital.”

A message from Elijah arrived with a link.

Jack, now in the passenger seat with Anaya, tossed her his iPhone.

“Open it!”

She tapped it—it appeared to be a livestream.

“Good evening, New York. And Los Angeles.

My name is Zakaria Haddad.

That’s my real name.

A few years ago, I lived in Gaza.

Now I’m in a room that mimics one you know very well.”

A man with brown skin and a beard sat in what looked almost exactly like the Oval Office.

He looked at his watch, then back at the camera.

“It’s time for breaking news.

Keep your eyes on your phones.”

Just then, an alert popped up:

BREAKING: Former Democratic President Owen Reed reportedly shot at the Los Angeles Convention Center

Zakaria bowed his head slightly and chuckled.

“A sad headline, isn’t it?

But don’t be sad, America.

In Gaza, we endured 55,000 times worse.

We lost more than 55,000 loved ones.

We wept—endlessly.”

Still looking down, he clenched his fists and slammed the desk.

When he looked up, tears glistened in his eyes.

“We do not seek money.

Nor honor through death.

All we want—

are tears.

Tears equal to the ones we shed.

Only those tears can heal us.”

Placing both elbows on the desk and clasping his hands, Zakaria gently rested his chin on them. He closed his eyes, and a heavy silence filled the room. The corners of his eyes seemed to tremble ever so slightly. Then, slowly, he began to speak.

“I am just one among fifty-five thousand. Even if I disappear, the will of fifty thousand others will remain—unchanging, undying, carried forward. I am here to give voice to that will.”

Zakaria opened the desk drawer, took out a Glock 17, and slid the action, chambering a round. He raised the gun to his temple.

A Sunni Muslim, he looked straight into the camera and spoke with a hint of sarcasm.

“God bless you. America.”

Zakaria closed his eyes and pulled the trigger straight back. A dry crack echoed through the room.

The screen cut to black in an instant.

### **Synopsis**

Kei Kitami, a student preparing for university entrance exams, meets Kaori Kamimura, an event companion six years his senior, through social media.

Kaori has come to Tokyo with a dream—to befriend famous artists.

To achieve this, she needs the influence of Ryo Osawa, a well-known radio producer.

During a live radio broadcast, Osawa speaks directly to Kaori:

*"I have a wife and child. But still, I want to see you."*

Meanwhile, Rika Sanjo, Kei’s classmate who secretly harbors feelings for him, is closely watching Kaori’s every move...

Main story

There are two reasons why a person faces the sea.

One to enjoy a slice of shine in the sea like children bubbling over in the beach.

The other to brush the dust of memory like an old man who misses old days staring at the shine

quietly.

Those lead to only one meaning though they do not seem to overlap. It’s a rebirth.

I face myself to change tomorrow a vague day into something certain.

That is the meaning of a rebirth.

I had a very sweet girlfriend when I was 18.

After she left I knew the meaning of gentleness for the first time and also a true pain of loss. After

she left # how many times did I depend too much on her # doubt her # envy her and keep on telling lies

until I realized it is love?

I wonder whether a nobody like me could have given something to her who was struggling in the

daily life in those days. Giving something is arrogant conceit. It is nothing but self-satisfaction.

I had been thinking about such a thing.

However I guess what she saw in me was because I had nothing. That‘s why she tried to see

something in me. Perhaps she found a slight possibility in me # a guy filled with ambiguous unstable

tomorrow. But I wasted days depending too much on her gentleness.

Now I finally can convey how I felt in those days when we met.

よかったら読んでください。:)

舞台はニューヨークです。

— 赤、黄色、青ーーー

イースト５２ndストリートに小雨が舞いはじめたのは、午後七時過ぎだった。

アナヤ・パテルは、待ち合わせたトットラーメンのとなりのビルの壁面にもたれ、右手に見える十字路の信号機をぼんやり眺めていた。もう７月だというのに、昨年よりも冷夏に感じ、Tシャツ一枚で出かけてきたことを後悔していた。

十字路の信号が青に変わると、アナは目を細め、凝視した。同級生のカナがこちらへ手を振りながら微笑み、駆け寄ってきていた——

マジソンスクエアガーデンの平坦な天井は、吐き出された人の熱気でいつもより膨らんでいるように、ジャックには見えた。大統領候補を歓迎する声とそれを罵倒する叫び声が錯綜し、鼓膜の奥を揺らしていた。

ジャックは、軽く場内の隅々まで目を凝らしてから、再びアイフォンに目を落とした。画面には、いくつかのSNSが同時に広がっており、それぞれが激しい書き込みによって文字が流れてゆく。

右下の、メタの書き込みに、ジャックは目を留めた。殺害予告だ。

大統領候補のジャスティン・ブラッドフォードは、フィアンセのエリノア・ブレイクとともに間も無くステージに立つ。

共和党を示す赤い光がステージ中央に差し込むと、二人は同時に現れた。

と、同時に、銃声が響いた。

一聴しただけでは気づかなかったがジャックの耳は聴き分けた。弾は二発だ。

騒然とした場内をよそに、ジャックは静かに目を閉じた。発射音から着弾までを想像した。

一発目の弾は、ジャックの右手、たぶん、PA近辺からだ。しかし、ジャックと同じ配属のシークレットサービスが張り込んでいたはずだ。もうひとつの弾丸をジャックは再び目を閉じて計算した。

弾は、たぶん、ステージ左手側からだ。ジャスティンとエリノアの二人の立ち位置を計算しているようだ。ひょっとしたら情報が漏れていたかもしれない。

ジャックの耳に第２報が入った。同僚のベン・ホロウェイの冷静な声だ。心臓ははずれたものの、2発の弾丸が打ち込まれていた。弾は心臓をかすめ、心窩部、ちょうど横隔膜の下に食い込んでいた。

ジャックも冷静に、ベンへ伝えた。

「ジャスティンはボンベイブラッドだ。三日前にベルビュー病院に確認した。予備の血液は保管されている」

ベンは、何事もなかったかのように、わかったと静かにいった。

マジソンスクエアガーデンにもっとも近いベルビュー病院に、ジャスティンを運び込む。ジャックは、病院で控えているイライジャ・ケインにスマートフォンから直接電話した。シークレットサービスではもちろんワッツアップなどのSNSはご法度だ。

ワンコールが切れる前にすぐイライジャは反応した。

「ジャック、大変だ。血液がない。ボンベイブラッドがないんだ」

ジャックは、耳を疑った。

「三日前に、俺は直接担当の、名前は忘れたな。とにかく目の前でブラッドバッグを確認したぞ」

イライジャは、数秒の沈黙の後、応えた。

「その血液の管理者は、きのう、交通事故で亡くなったんだ」

アナヤ・パテルは、夫のアルジュンをトットラーメンで待った。

学生時代からの親友、ミカ（佐藤）（日本人）も一緒だ。

店員が、アナヤの目の前にラーメンを差し出したとき、スマートフォンが鳴った。

登録してあるベルビュー病院からだった。

アナヤは、躊躇わずに出た。着信を見たミカは不安げにアナヤを見守った。

「アナヤ・パテルさんですか？　私は救急部のサーシャウィルソンと言います。すでにご存知かもしれませんが、共和党大統領候補が撃たれました。あなたの血が必要です。すぐに病院へ来てください。シークレットサービスの車が迎えに行きます。動かないでください」

アナヤは、呆然としているミカの視線を追って、背後を振り返った。カウンターのちょうど左上に下がったディスプレイには、MSGの現在が男性レポーターによって放映されている。

アナは開いた入り口に目を移した。青い、洗練されたスーツをまとった褐色の肌の男性が、足早にアナに寄ってきた。

「シークレットサービスのロハン・シャーと言います。私と一緒に病院へ来てください。外に車を用意してあります」

彼は真剣な眼差しでアナへ伝え、手を引こうとした瞬間、アナのアイフォンが再び震えた。番号だけ浮かびあがっている。登録されていないようだ。アナは慌てて、タッチした。

「はい」

「アナヤ・パテルさん？」

「ええ、あなたは？」

「ジャック。ジャック・ヴァンス。シークレットサービスです。もうすぐそちらへ到着します」

「わたしの場所をどうやって？」

「わたしたちはプロだ。あらゆる手段を用意しています」

「もう、シークレットサービスの人が来てるわ」

ジャックの、違う！　という怒声が響いた瞬間、目の前の男性はスーツの内から小銃を引き抜き、アナの額に向けた。

店内に小さな銃声が響いた。

アナは、震えることすら忘れ、言葉を失い、放心していた。

目の前の男性がゆっくり床へ崩れると、夫のアルジュンが、やはりアナに銃を向けて現れた。

「フリーズ！FBI ！」

数人の制服を着たNYPDとグレイのスーツを纏ったFBIが叫んだ。

「全員、手を頭の後ろに回して床に伏せろ！」

映画のようなお決まりのセリフに、アナは震えていた。もちろん、ミカも。たぶん、アナの夫のアルジュンが最も震えていただろう。

遅れて、ジャックが店内に向け、叫んだ。

「アナヤ・パテル！」

アナは、見上げることなく、そのままに応えた。足がまだ震えている。

「わたしです」

額に汗を浮かべたジャックは、アナの身を起こすと、いった。

「すぐに病院へ行く」

病院にいるイライジャから、リンク付きのメッセージが届いた。

助手席に乗り込んだアナへジャックはアイフォンを放り投げると、リンク先を開け、と叫んだ。

慌てて、アナが触れると、どうやら生放送のようだった。

「こんばんわ、ニューヨーク。そしてロサンゼルス。私の名前はザカリア・ハッダード。本名だ。

数年前、ガザに住んでいた。今は、みなさんがよく目にする部屋を真似た部屋に私はいる」

褐色の、顎髭をたくわえたザカリアは、アメリカ大統領執務室とほとんど同じ部屋の椅子に座っていた。

腕時計にゆっくり目を落としてから、再び、カメラに視線を向けた。

「そろそろブレイキングニュースだ。スマートフォンの速報に注目して欲しい」

ザカリアがそういった途端、速報が流れた。

【民主党前大統領のオーウェン・リードがロサンゼルス・コンベンション・センターで銃撃された模様です】

ザカリアは、一瞬俯いて笑いを堪えながらいった。

「悲しい速報じゃないか。アメリカのみなさん。でもどうか悲しまないで欲しい。私が経験したガザではこの55,000倍だ。55,000人以上の大切な人を失い、そして、涙を流した」

ザカリアは、再び俯いたまま、両手を固く握りしめ、力強く机を叩きつけた。

顔を上げたザカリアの目にはうっすらと涙が溢れていた。

「私たちは、お金を求めない。また、死による名誉も求めない。私たちが欲しいのは、55,000人が流した涙と同じだけの涙だ。流された涙と同じだけの涙だけが、私たちを癒す」

両肘を机につき、両手を組むと、ザカリアは静かに顎を乗せた。目を閉じて、しばらく沈黙が続いた。目尻が細かく震えているようだった。そのままゆっくり口を開いた。

「55,000人のうちの私はひとりに過ぎない。私が消えても５万人もの意思は決して消えず、引き継がれる。私は、私たちの意思をここに表明するためにいる」

ザカリアは、机の引き出しから、グロック１７を取り出すと、スライドしてチャンバーに弾を流した。そして、自分のこめかみに向けた。

スンニ派である彼は、まっすぐにカメラを見つめ、皮肉混じりにいった。

「神のご加護を。アメリカ」

ザカリアは、目を閉じると、トリガーを真っ直ぐに引いた。乾いた音が部屋に響いた。映像は、瞬時に黒へ切り替わった。

つづく。

２　小説。unforgettable’ 英語版。

３　インタビュー　日本語版

４　小説。unforgettable’ 日本語版。(この小説は未来のアーティストへ捧げます)

(四百字詰め原稿用紙４５６枚)

　あらすじ

　大学を目指している北見ケイは、SNS上で、6歳年上のイベントコンパニオン、上村香織に出会う。

　上京してきた香織の夢は、有名なアーティストの友達になるためだ。

　そのためにはラジオ局のプロデューサー、大沢亮の存在が必要だった。

　大沢は、ラジオの生放送中、香織へ語りかける。

　「僕には妻子がある。しかし、僕は君に会いたいと思っている」

　ケイの同級生で、彼を想っている三條里香は、香織の動向を探っていた。。。。。

本編

人が海へ向かう理由には、二つある。

　ひとつは、波打ち際ではしゃぐ子供のように、今の瞬間の海の輝きを楽しむこと。

　もうひとつは、その輝きを静かに見据えて、過ぎ去った日々を懐かしむ老人のように記憶の埃を払うこと。

　二つは重なり合わないようではあるけれども、たったひとつの意味しか生まない。

　再生だ。

　明日っていう、曖昧な日を確実なものへと変えてゆくために、自分の存在に向き合う。

　それが再生の意味だ。

　十八歳だった僕には大切な人がいた。

_________________________________

[ Important Announcement ]

The 2025 exhibition has been postponed.

Right now, I’m fully immersed in writing—and I’ve been uploading fragments of that work here.

Among the countless artists around the world, my work may be no more than a mere pebble.

And yet, I still feel compelled to create.

America.

Europe.

And now, Japan—faced with the results of this latest election.

The world is already broken.

I don’t believe for a moment that my novel could fix such a world.

But as I’ve always said, I believe that changing the inner world of a single person can change tomorrow.

That belief remains unchanged.

I have confidence in this novel.

To hurt someone.

To love someone.

Is there a wall that separates us from loving one another?

Is money the most important thing of all?

Is art truly meaningless?

I’ve entrusted everything to this story.

That’s why I’ve made the decision to step away from exhibitions for a year.

If things go well, I may begin publishing the novel between January and February of next year.

If not, it will be around late July 2026.

Right now, I’m consumed with breaking through my own limits.

As entertainment, I believe this novel will bring you joy again and again.

Please look forward to it.

From now on I will host "Lot No.402_".

The work of Leonardo da Vinci who was sleeping.

That is the number when it was put up for auction.

No sign was written on the work.

So this work couldn't conclude that it was his work.

However # as a result of various appraisals # it was exposed to the sun.

A work that no one notices. A work that speaks quietly without a title.

I will continue to strive to provide it to many people in various ways.

### **Interview and Novel: My Work**

I published a book in the past.

At that time, I uploaded my interview as a PDF online, both in Japanese and English.

Now, I am making it available for free.

More details can be found on Amazon.

**Writing a Novel.**

**Photography Techniques.**

**The Sense of Distance Between the Creator and the Work.**

These all share a common theme.

I put into words the things I felt and left them behind as a record.

I hope my text reaches many readers.

Thank you.

### **Synopsis**

Kei Kitami, a student preparing for university entrance exams, meets Kaori Kamimura, an event companion six years his senior, through social media.

Kaori has come to Tokyo with a dream—to befriend famous artists.

To achieve this, she needs the influence of Ryo Osawa, a well-known radio producer.

During a live radio broadcast, Osawa speaks directly to Kaori:

*"I have a wife and child. But still, I want to see you."*

Meanwhile, Rika Sanjo, Kei’s classmate who secretly harbors feelings for him, is closely watching Kaori’s every move...

Main story

There are two reasons why a person faces the sea.

One to enjoy a slice of shine in the sea like children bubbling over in the beach.

The other to brush the dust of memory like an old man who misses old days staring at the shine

quietly.

Those lead to only one meaning though they do not seem to overlap. It’s a rebirth.

I face myself to change tomorrow a vague day into something certain.

That is the meaning of a rebirth.

I had a very sweet girlfriend when I was 18.

After she left I knew the meaning of gentleness for the first time and also a true pain of loss. After

she left # how many times did I depend too much on her # doubt her # envy her and keep on telling lies

until I realized it is love?

I wonder whether a nobody like me could have given something to her who was struggling in the

daily life in those days. Giving something is arrogant conceit. It is nothing but self-satisfaction.

I had been thinking about such a thing.

However I guess what she saw in me was because I had nothing. That‘s why she tried to see

something in me. Perhaps she found a slight possibility in me # a guy filled with ambiguous unstable

tomorrow. But I wasted days depending too much on her gentleness.

Now I finally can convey how I felt in those days when we met.

My Novel : Unforgettable'

(This book is Dedicated to the future artist.)

Kei Kitami, a student preparing for university entrance exams, meets Kaori Kamimura, an event companion six years his senior, through social media.

Kaori has come to Tokyo with a dream—to befriend famous artists.

To achieve this, she needs the influence of Ryo Osawa, a well-known radio producer.

During a live radio broadcast, Osawa speaks directly to Kaori:

*"I have a wife and child. But still, I want to see you."*

Meanwhile, Rika Sanjo, Kei’s classmate who secretly harbors feelings for him, is closely watching Kaori’s every move...

Main story

There are two reasons why a person faces the sea.

One to enjoy a slice of shine in the sea like children bubbling over in the beach.

The other to brush the dust of memory like an old man who misses old days staring at the shine

quietly.

Those lead to only one meaning though they do not seem to overlap. It’s a rebirth.

I face myself to change tomorrow a vague day into something certain.

That is the meaning of a rebirth.

I had a very sweet girlfriend when I was 18.

After she left I knew the meaning of gentleness for the first time and also a true pain of loss. After

she left # how many times did I depend too much on her # doubt her # envy her and keep on telling lies

until I realized it is love?

I wonder whether a nobody like me could have given something to her who was struggling in the

daily life in those days. Giving something is arrogant conceit. It is nothing but self-satisfaction.

I had been thinking about such a thing.

However I guess what she saw in me was because I had nothing. That‘s why she tried to see

something in me. Perhaps she found a slight possibility in me # a guy filled with ambiguous unstable

tomorrow. But I wasted days depending too much on her gentleness.

Now I finally can convey how I felt in those days when we met.

1 Photo exhibition up to that point. Did you want to go?

2 Well # what is an exhibition that you want to visit even if you go there?

3 Challenge to exhibit one work every month before opening a solo exhibition at the Harajuku Design Festa.

4 works are materials and silhouettes. Similar to fashion.

5 Who is your favorite artist? What is it? Make it clear.

6 Creating a collage is exactly the same as taking photos. As I wrote in the interview # it is the same as writing a novel.

7 I want to show it to someone # but I do not make a piece to show it. Aim for the work you want to decorate your own room as in the photo.

8 What is copycat? Nowadays # it is suspected to be beaten. There is something called Mimesis?

Today's photo.

It is a photo taken from Eurostar.

This video is an explanation.

I went to Milan in 2005.

At that time # I went from Milan to Venice.

We took Eurostar into the transportation.

This photo was not taken from a very fast Eurostar.

When I changed the track # I took a picture at the moment I slowed down.

Is there a Japanese beside you?

【重要なお知らせ】

２０２５年の展示は、延期します。

僕は現在、執筆に集中していて、その断片をここへアップロードしています。

世界中に溢れるアーティストのなかで、僕の作品は石ころのような存在です。

けれども、僕はどうしても描きたいのです。

アメリカやヨーロッパ。そして、今回の選挙結果を突きつけられた日本。

世界はすでに壊れています。

壊れた世界を僕の小説が修復できるなどとは決して思っていません。

僕はこれまでにも書いてきたように、たったひとりの個人の内面を塗り替えることで明日を変えられると信じてきました。

それは、いまでも変わっていません。

僕は今回の小説に自信を持っています。

誰かを傷つけること。

誰かを愛すること。

誰かを愛することに壁はあるのか。

お金がもっとも大切なのか。

アートは無意味なのか。

僕はこの小説にすべてを託しました。

ですので、僕は一年間、展示を見送る決断をしました。

小説の発表は、早くて来年の１月から２月ごろにできるかもしれません。

遅くて、来年の７月下旬です。

僕は今、自分の壁を越えることに夢中になっています。

僕の小説は、エンターテイメントとして、あなたを何度も楽しませるはずです。

楽しみに、待っていてください。

(四百字詰め原稿用紙４５６枚)

　あらすじ

　大学を目指している北見ケイは、SNS上で、6歳年上のイベントコンパニオン、上村香織に出会う。

　上京してきた香織の夢は、有名なアーティストの友達になるためだ。

　そのためにはラジオ局のプロデューサー、大沢亮の存在が必要だった。

　大沢は、ラジオの生放送中、香織へ語りかける。

　「僕には妻子がある。しかし、僕は君に会いたいと思っている」

　ケイの同級生で、彼を想っている三條里香は、香織の動向を探っていた。。。。。

本編

人が海へ向かう理由には、二つある。

　ひとつは、波打ち際ではしゃぐ子供のように、今の瞬間の海の輝きを楽しむこと。

　もうひとつは、その輝きを静かに見据えて、過ぎ去った日々を懐かしむ老人のように記憶の埃を払うこと。

　二つは重なり合わないようではあるけれども、たったひとつの意味しか生まない。

　再生だ。

　明日っていう、曖昧な日を確実なものへと変えてゆくために、自分の存在に向き合う。

　それが再生の意味だ。

　十八歳だった僕には大切な人がいた。

Title:

Under Construction

B♭ (B Flat)

A Novel by Mitsushiro Nakagawa

日本語のあらすじ等は下の方にあります😃

一部分の公開を更新しました。今回が最後です😃

“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。

My new novel

B♭ (B Flat)

Ana woke to the faint sense of someone’s presence.

The monitor beside her bed flickered softly, and the air was thick with the scent of antiseptic.

From the bed next to hers, Justin’s eyes were fixed straight on her face as she slept.

The anger that had once burned in those eyes during his televised speeches was gone, replaced by a gentle, almost tender light.

“Thank you. Truly…”

His voice trembled faintly, and behind his words lingered a fragile honesty.

Ana narrowed her eyes slightly.

“You don’t need a reason to save someone. Bombay Blood… it doesn’t let you choose who to give it to.”

He smiled faintly, turning his gaze toward the ceiling as if to hide the shallowness of his breath.

“I’ve never been the kind of man to entrust my life to anyone. At least—not until yesterday.”

A quiet silence settled between them before he went on.

“I used to believe politics was a job without blood. Votes, numbers, negotiations—that’s all it was supposed to be.”

“But it wasn’t?” Ana asked softly.

“No.”

Justin let out a sigh.

“The thought that someone else’s blood is flowing inside me—it’s terrifying, if I stop to think about it.

And yet… at the same time, I’ve never felt so alive. Not once in my life.”

Ana tilted her head slightly.

“Alive?”

“The moment I was shot, I truly thought I was going to die. But people risked their lives to protect me. Someone made a choice that could have killed them instead of me. I only now realize how much that means—beyond anything words can express.”

His tone lacked the sharpness, the calculated rhythm of a politician’s speech. It was simply the voice of a man trying to measure the weight of his own life.

Ana smiled faintly.

“Then maybe now… you could give your blood to someone else?”

Justin gave a wry smile and lowered his eyes.

“Maybe. But first, I think I should repay the debt to the one who brought me back to life.”

At that moment, a faint crackle from a security radio came from beyond the door.

Justin’s recovery had not yet been made public. But his survival would—sooner or later—shake the election, and perhaps even the world.

Ana forgot all of that.

All she felt was a quiet astonishment that the blood that once flowed in her own body was now pulsing within another.

The door opened quietly.

The sharp sound of heels struck the floor, and a faint scent of rosemary drifted in.

The woman who entered wore a disposable polyethylene gown, shoe covers, and a thin hair cap. It was Eleanor.

Her gaze moved from Ana to Justin, pausing on each of their faces.

“I’m sorry to interrupt,” she said, her voice calm, though Ana sensed the precision of carefully measured emotion beneath it.

When Ana started to rise, Eleanor raised a hand to stop her.

“You must be Ms. Anaya… Thank you. Thank you for saving him.”

She took Justin’s hand briefly, then looked Ana straight in the eye.

“No amount of gratitude could ever be enough. To borrow a life—such a thing hardly ever happens.”

Ana nodded faintly, unsure how to respond.

“I only did what I could.”

Justin looked at Eleanor and narrowed his eyes slightly.

“If it weren’t for her, I’d probably be… in a coffin instead of a campaign.”

The remark was half in jest, but carried a trace of self-mockery.

Eleanor kept her smile, placing a hand gently on Ana’s shoulder.

“You may not realize it yet—but what you’ve done might one day mean something to this country. You’ll understand, eventually.”

Without a knock, the door opened again.

A woman in a white coat stepped in, her movements precise, her expression sharp. It was Dr. Sasha Wilson, head of emergency medicine at Bellevue Hospital.

Her hair was tied neatly back, and she held a tablet in one hand.

“Ms. Anaya Patel,” Sasha said, bowing slightly.

“Thank you for your cooperation. The transfusion of Bombay Blood could not have been performed so swiftly without you.”

She glanced down at her tablet and continued in a tone that was businesslike, yet respectful.

“There is no further medical need for you to remain. You are officially cleared for discharge.”

Ana exhaled deeply and nodded.

“Your belongings will be returned in the lobby. If you require an escort, security can—”

“That won’t be necessary,” Ana replied at once.

Sasha looked momentarily surprised, then nodded in understanding.

Justin spoke up quietly.

“Miss Patel… will I see you again?”

Ana stopped in her tracks.

The air in the room seemed to tremble faintly behind her. Eleanor said nothing.

“I hope,” Ana said softly, turning toward them, “that I will never again have reason to meet a presidential candidate.”

She smiled—a smile that held both warmth and distance.

Meanwhile, at a newsstand on the corner, tabloid headlines blared stories of Justin and Eleanor’s engagement.

Rumors spread that their wedding would be held before the Electoral College vote in December—a symbolic show of unity meant to sway the coming election, whatever the outcome.

Eleanor seemed to search for words, but lowered her gaze instead.

When Sasha opened the door, Ana stepped out.

The hush of the automatic doors closing behind her sounded like the end of a quiet ritual.

In the corridor, Elijah was waiting.

“Take me to Arjun,” Ana said.

She had to do something—anything—for Arjun, who had killed for her.

Her chest was restless, her breath uneven.

In the back seat of the patrol car, Ana clasped her hands tightly, her knees tense.

The Brooklyn night was warm and heavy, the police radio hissing with bursts of static.

“The shooter was Arjun Singh, right?” the young officer in the passenger seat asked, without turning around.

“Yes… it was him. If he hadn’t fired, I—”

“We know, Ms. Patel. The cameras caught everything, and the witnesses agree. It’s clear self-defense. Without him, you’d be dead.”

The older officer at the wheel grunted his assent.

Ana nodded silently.

The instant the gun was raised toward her inside Totto Ramen, everything had slowed to a crawl.

Then, a gunshot from behind—its echo still lived in the back of her mind.

“Here we are.”

The patrol car stopped outside the NYPD Midtown South Precinct.

The concrete building’s exterior lights glowed pale against the night sky.

Along 35th Street, the dark glass doors reflected the letters:

“NYPD MIDTOWN SOUTH PRECINCT.”

A few steps led up to double glass doors, flanked by blue garage bays for police vehicles.

Rows of vertical concrete pillars gave the building a stern, almost solemn dignity.

Accompanied by the officers, Ana entered the station and was led to a small interview room.

Inside sat Arjun—unharmed, composed, waiting.

“Ana…”

His voice was low, unsteady.

She said nothing, walked toward him, and took a seat.

“I’m so glad you’re safe…”

Tears welled suddenly in Arjun’s eyes—the first she had ever seen from him.

His shoulders trembled, his body drawn inward.

Seeing his fragility, Ana’s eyes softened, and she too began to cry.

“Thank you… truly, thank you.”

Silence fell between them—not heavy, but deep, a silence of shared relief.

Then came a knock, and the lead detective entered.

“All evidence is consistent—surveillance footage, witnesses, audio. With Ms. Patel’s statement, we have no issue. Arjun Singh, you are hereby released.”

As the paperwork was signed, Arjun rose.

He shook the officer’s hand firmly, saying nothing.

Together they stepped out into the night.

The sky was low, covered in dark clouds, but no rain fell. Streetlights spilled quiet pools of light across the pavement.

A young patrolman waited by the car.

“We’ll drive you home to Paramus. Can’t have you caught up in another incident,” he said with a wink, opening the door.

They smiled faintly and got in.

Neither spoke.

Only now and then did their fingers brush—until their hands naturally found each other.

Ana’s phone buzzed in her pocket. A message from Mika.

“Tomorrow’s the exhibit at Domino Park. The kids are excited. Rest tonight. Leave it to me.”

Ana looked at the screen and smiled faintly. The bluish light reflected across her tired face.

“It’s from Mika,” she murmured. “She says she’ll handle the whole exhibition tomorrow.”

Arjun raised his brows slightly and smiled.

“It’s a good thing—to have people who can keep things moving, even when you’re not there.”

“Yeah…” Ana whispered, resting her forehead gently against his chest.

僕の新しい小説。

　B♭　（ビーフラット）

第18弾。 😄

以下は、まだ初稿の段階です。まだ推敲します。

重要な部分は公開していません。

公開している内容の順番はバラバラです。

(もちろん最終稿ではありません。)

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

僕の新しい小説。

　B♭　（ビーフラット）

　アナは人の気配で目を覚ました。

　ベッド脇のモニターが静かに点滅し、消毒液の匂いが空気を満たしている。

　隣のベッドに寝ているジャスティンの視線が、まっすぐにアナの寝顔に注がれていた。その瞳は、テレビの演説で怒りに満ちたものとはまるで別人のように、穏やかで柔らかい光を湛えていた。

「ありがとう。ほんとに……」

　彼は、言葉の奥に素直な脆さをにじませて、かすかに唇を震わせた。

　アナは、目を細めた。

「助けるのに、理由なんて不要です。ボンベイブラッドは……　選べる相手じゃないから‥」

　彼はうっすら笑って、呼吸の浅さを隠すように視線を天井に向けた。

「僕は、他人に命を預けるなんて性格じゃない。少なくとも、昨日まではそうだった」

　しばらく沈黙が流れたあと、彼はぽつりと続けた。

「政治家は、血の通ってない仕事だって、いつからか信じてた。票と数字と、駆け引き。それだけで十分だって」

「でも違った？」とアナが小声で訊いた。

「違ったよ」

　ジャスティンはため息をひとつ漏らした。

「人の血が、自分の身体に入ってきてるなんて、冷静に考えたら怖くてたまらない。でも──　同時に、なんか……信じられないくらい、生きてるって気がした。初めてだ」

　アナは首をかしげた。

「生きてるって？」

「撃たれた瞬間……たぶん、本当に死ぬって思った。でも、こんな自分をみんなが守ってくれた。誰かが“僕の代わりに死ぬ可能性のある選択”をしてくれたんだ。そこに言葉以上の意味があるということに今さら気づいたよ」

　ジャスティンの口調には、いつもの弁舌のキレや、攻撃性はなかった。ただ素直に、自分の命の重さを計ろうとしている男の声だった。

　アナは少しだけ微笑んだ。

「じゃあ、いまのあなたなら……　別の誰かにも血をあげられると思う？」

　ジャスティンは苦笑しながらも、目を伏せた。

「たぶん。……でもその前に、まずは誰かに生き返らされた借りを、返す方が先だな」

　そのとき、扉の向こうで警備の無線がかすかに響いた。

　ジャスティンの回復はまだ公表されていない。だが、彼の生還は──今後の選挙戦を、世界を、何か大きく動かすことになる。

　アナはそんなことも忘れて、ただ、自分の中に流れていた血が、今、別の身体の中で鼓動を打っていることに、静かな驚きを感じていた。

　病室のドアが静かに開いた。

　ピンヒールの音が床を軽く叩き、ほのかにローズマリーの香水が漂った。

　入ってきたのは、不透明なポリエチレン素材のディスポーザブル・ガウンと、靴カバー、薄いヘアキャップを被ったエリノアだった。

　彼女の視線が、ベッドのアナと、ジャスティンの顔を一度ずつ確認した。

「ごめんなさい。邪魔して」

　声は穏やかだったが、その言葉の裏に、緻密な感情の計算が見え隠れしているようにアナには感じた。

　アナが起きあがろうとすると、エリノアが手を上げて制した。

「あなたが、アナヤさんね。……彼を救ってくれて、本当にありがとう」

　エリノアはジャスティンの手を一瞬だけ握ったあと、まっすぐアナの目を見て言った。

「どれだけ感謝しても足りないわ。命を借りるなんてこと──滅多に起きることじゃないもの」

　アナは少し戸惑いながらも、軽くうなずいた。

「私は、できることをしただけです」

　ジャスティンはエリノアを見て、少しだけ目を細めた。

「彼女がいなかったら、今ごろ僕は……選挙どころか、棺桶の中だったかもな」

　冗談めかした口調には、薄い自嘲がにじんでいた。

　エリノアは微笑を崩さず、アナの肩に手を添えた。

「今はまだ、きっと実感も湧かないでしょうけど──あなたがしくれたことが、この国に意味のあることに繋げられたらと思います。いつか、きっと、後になってわかるわ」

　再びドアがノックもなく開いた。

　白衣を翻して入ってきたのは、ベルビュー病院の救急部主任、サーシャ・ウィルソンだった。髪を後ろでまとめ、鋭い視線とプロフェッショナルな所作だった。彼女は手にタブレットを持っていた。

「アナヤ・パテルさん」

　サーシャが小さく頭を下げた。

「ご協力、ありがとうございました。ボンベイブラッドの輸血をここで即座に行えたのは、あなたのおかげです」

　タブレットに目を落としながら、彼女は事務的だが敬意のある口調で続けた。

「今後、追加の医療的処置は不要と判断されました。正式に、ご退院いただいて構いません」

　アナは息をひとつ吐き、深くうなずいた。

「着替えなどはロビーでお渡しします。付き添いが必要な場合は、セキュリティに──」

「必要ないです」とアナは即答した。

　その言葉に、サーシャは一瞬だけ意外そうな目をしたが、すぐに納得したように肯いた。

　ジャスティンが小さく声をかけた。

「……ミス・パテル、また会える？」

　アナは立ち止まった。

　彼女の背中越しに、病室の空気がわずかに揺れた。エリノアは沈黙していた。

「私が今後、二度と大統領候補に会うことがないよう……私はお祈りします」

　そう言って振り返ると、彼女はエリノアとジャスティンへ微笑んだ。その声には、あたたかさと距離感が同時に宿っていた。

　一方、街角のニューススタンドに並ぶゴシップ誌の見出しには、二人の婚約記事が踊っていた。結婚式は選挙人団投票が行われる十二月までに挙げられる──そんな噂が流布していたのだ。大統領選の結果にかかわらず、強い絆を示すことで次の選挙戦に影響を与えようという思惑さえ透けて見える。

　エリノアは言葉を探しているようだったが、何も言わずに視線を下げた。

　サーシャがドアを開けると、アナは、ゆっくりと病室を出た。

　自動ドアの閉まる音が、まるである種の儀式の終わりを告げるように、静かに空間を切り分けた。

　通路で待機していたイライジャに、アナはいった。

「アルジュンにすぐ会わせて」

　私のために射殺したアルジュンをなんとかしなくては‥‥ 　アナの胸はざわめいていた。

　パトカーの後部座席で、アナは手を組んだまま、膝に力が入るのを抑えられなかった。ブルックリンの夜はぬるく、車内には警官の無線が時おりノイズ混じりに鳴っていた。

「撃ったのは、アルジュン・シンですよね？」助手席の若い警官が後ろを振り向かずに尋ねた。

「はい……彼です。撃たなければ、私は──」

「わかってますよ、アナヤさん。防犯カメラもあったし、店内の証言も一致してる。完全な正当防衛です。彼がいなければ、あなたは殺されていたでしょう。」

　運転席の年配の警官が相槌を打った。

　アナも無言で肯いた。トットラーメンの店内で、銃口を彼女に向けた瞬間、すべてがスローモーションになった。次の刹那、背後から響いた銃声。その音を、アナはいまだ耳の奥に抱えていた。

「ここです」

　パトカーが停まったのは、マンハッタン南部ミッドタウン第14分署だ。コンクリートの庁舎の外灯が、夜の空に白く滲んでいた。

　35丁目沿い、沈んだ色のガラス扉を備えた建物正面には、“NYPD MIDTOWN SOUTH PRECINCT”という黒いプレートがコンクリート壁に浮かんでいた。三段ほどの階段を昇ると、ガラス製の両開きドアがあり、その両脇には警察車両用のブルーのガレージドアが並んでいる。縦に走るコンクリートの柱が数列に分かれ、シンプルながら威厳と緊張感を醸し出していた。

　アナは警官に付き添われて署内へ入った。手続き室の奥、面会用の小さな部屋に案内されると、アルジュンが無傷のまま、落ち着いた表情で座っていた。

「アナ……」

　彼の声は低く、揺れていた。アナは言葉を発せず、そのまま歩み寄り、椅子に腰を下ろした。

「よかった、無事だね……」

　アルジュンの目から一瞬にして大粒の涙が溢れた。アナが彼に出会ってから初めての涙だった。体の線が縮まり、細かく震えている。その弱々しい彼の姿にアナの瞳も緩んだ。アナも同じように涙を零していた。

「ありがとう、ほんとうに、ありがとう」

　ふたりのあいだに沈黙が落ちたが、それは重苦しいものではなく、互いの無事を確かめ合う、深い静寂だった。

　やがて扉がノックされ、担当刑事が入ってきた。

「証拠は揃ってる。監視映像、目撃者、店内の録音。アナさんの証言も加われば、釈放は問題ない。アルジュン・シンさん、正式に解放します」

　その場で釈放の手続きが進められ、アルジュンは立ち上がった。

　警官が手を差し出すとアルジュンは黙って頷き、握り返した。

　ふたりは夜の街へ出た。空は低く黒い雲に覆われていたが、雨は降らず、街灯が静かに歩道を照らしていた。

　若い巡査が外で待っていた。

「パラマスのご自宅まで送りますよ。犯罪に巻き込まれます」

　彼は軽くウィンクして、パトカーの後部扉を開いた。

　二人は笑顔で返し、乗り込んだ。車内で、会話はなかった。ただ、アナとアルジュンの指先がときおり触れ、手が自然に重なった。

　アナのポケットのスマホが振動した。ミカからのメッセージだった。

「あしたは、ドミノパークで展示。子どもたちも楽しみにしてる。あなたはゆっくり休んで。任せて」

　アナは画面を見つめ、小さく微笑んだ。暗い車内で反射した青白い光が疲れた横顔を照らし滲ませた。

「ミカから。……明日の展示、彼女が全部やってくれるって」

　アルジュンが少しだけ眉を上げ、口元を緩めた。

「君がいなくても、動いてくれる人がいるって、いいことだな」

「うん……」

　アナはそう静かに応えると彼の胸にそっと額を預けた。
