In the narrow aisle of a standing noodle shop, I almost bumped into a woman, probably in her 40s. We both avoided each other by turning in the same direction as if we were synchronized three times: right, left, and right. I immediately said, “Excuse me,” but the woman looked so disgusted that I could tell even through her mask. I felt a little bad, but thinking that many people must be nervous this time of year, I switched my attention to the tanuki soba noodles I was about to eat.
As I was eating my soba in a small booth, I saw a woman eating soba diagonally across from me from the corner of the partition, but she probably did not notice my presence. She was eating her soba in an amazing manner. She looked pretty terrible.
What I’m trying to say is that when the time comes for you to take off your mask, you will probably become unattractive if you let your guard down during this mask season.
