Description
Tout commence par des disparitions, des déplacements d'objets. Shimura-san vit seul dans une maison silencieuse qui fait face aux chantiers navals de Nagasaki. C'est un homme ordinaire, qui rejoint chaque matin la station météorologique de la ville en maudissant le chant des cigales, déjeune seul et rentre tôt dans une retraite qui n'a pas d'odeur, sauf celle de l'ordre et de la mesure. Depuis quelque temps déjà, il répertorie scrupuleusement les niveaux et les quantités de nourriture stockée dans chaque placard de sa cuisine. Dans ce monde contre lequel l'imprévu ne pouvait rien, un bouleversement s'est produit. Devant l'écran de son ordinateur et grâce à sa caméra, Shimura-san finit par apercevoir l'intruse. Il y a bien quelqu'un chez lui. Il a vu son profil. Il l'observe. Il attend d'être sûr. Est-ce une hallucination, un fantôme de ses échecs sentimentaux passés, une amante amère et revancharde ? Il finit par appeler la police. L'invitée est embarquée et mise en cellule.
