One passenger stood on each platform

Once the train drives away, the passengers disappear from the platform and there is a brief moment of silence. However, the silence is a fleeting illusion, and the train soon enters the platform. Shimbashi Station is busy. The total number of passengers and transfers per day at this station easily exceeds 700,000. The platform is quiet for only a brief moment in this busy station, where the equivalent of the population of Shizuoka City gets on and off the trains and transfers every day.

In the midst of the brief silence, two passengers appear. One man stopped on the same platform as me, and the other woman stopped on the other side of the platform. They were almost facing each other across the tracks. But this was just a coincidence; they were not acquaintances. Without exchanging a glance, each was waiting for the train to come, and when it did, each left for his or her own home.
