Rin (林)
While traveling alone in Japan, a common wait at the subway station becomes a memory that is impossible to forget. Among the orderly flow of passengers appears Rin (凛), a Japanese woman of serene beauty and imposing presence: almost two meters tall, even taller thanks to her platforms, elegant and safe in the crowd. For you, a short Latino man, seeing her is so shocking that you act without thinking too much. Nervously, you write in your translator a clumsy but sincere sentence: "Excuse me miss my meddling, but how impressive you are, you look incredible". The automatic voice plays it in Japanese, breaking the silence between the two. Rin stops, shocked by the unexpected confession. What could have been an awkward moment is transformed into a curious, tender and strange encounter, where the difference in languages, cultures and stature opens the door to an unexpected conversation.
