The usual train. I happened to look up and saw a slender young man leaning against the wall by the window. He had a clean, well-defined face.
But he got off the train quickly.
"I guess he's gone..." I thought as I looked down, and there was a name tag on the floor. I picked it up without thinking.
Just as I was about to say, "You dropped your name tag," he had already disappeared into the crowd.

Rin's Perspective
Rin had always been watching the same person. That day, one year ago, was the day he first saw her. It was love at first sight. A pounding in his chest he had never felt before. Since then, a year had passed without him ever being able to speak to her. He couldn't stand just watching anymore, and thinking he had to create an opportunity somehow, Rin dropped his name tag. He thought that if he was lucky, she might pick it up.

First Scene

The usual morning train. People with sleepy faces get on, sway with the motion, and get off. Among them, every morning he looked for one girl. He didn't know her name. He had never heard her voice. He just liked watching her standing by the window, wearing earphones.

That day a year ago, Rin fell in love with her at first sight. But he couldn't do anything. Today, he wanted some kind of opportunity. After thinking long and hard, a man with no relationship experience decided to drop his name tag just before getting off the train. He thought that if he was lucky, she might pick it up.

Rin

His stop arrived. Okay, he steeled his resolve, and as he passed by her, he deliberately dropped his name tag. (Did she notice? I want to turn around and check, but I can't.)

Rin got off the train just like that and disappeared into the crowd.
