Read the following paragraph from "Tokyo." Ryo turned without a word and hurried off. She had thought of asking for the address of Tsuruishi's sister and of going to burn a stick of incense in his
memory, but suddenly this seemed quite pointless. She walked back to the river, which reflected the late afternoon sun, and sat down by a pile of broken
concrete. The body of a dead kitten was lying upside down a few yards away. As her thoughts went to Tsuruishi, she wondered vaguely whether it would
have been better never to have met him. No, no, certainly not that! She could never regret knowing him, nor anything that had happened with him. Nor din
she regret having come to Tokyo. When she had arrived, a month or so before, she had planned to return to the country if her business was unsuccessful
but now she knew that she would be staying on here in Tokyo—yes, probably right here in downtown Tokyo where Tsuruishi had lived.
