There are women-only passenger cars, right? There is an interesting story about those cars.
Sometimes, a male passenger who is quietly waiting in line on a crowded platform during rush hour suddenly seems to lose his soul as soon as the train arrives, and staggers toward a certain women-only car to board. But that is not the intention of the male passenger himself. He simply wonders how he’s found himself in a woman-only car, after coming back to himself.
That is the act of the “ghost of the women-only passenger car.”
Yes, there is a “ghost of the women-only passenger car.” It’s the ghost of a man. Before his death, he was present at the moment of the introduction of women-only cars in the early 2000s and strongly protested against it.
Perhaps it is the strength of his obsession, but after his death he became the spirit of one particular women-only car, choosing a male passenger from the platform and temporarily possessing him and inviting him into the car.
In his own way, it is a form of protest while being a ghost.
He couldn’t understand women-only cars anyway. If we are going to go this far in preventing molestation, shouldn’t we also do more to prevent false accusations of molestation for men? Even though there are many men among the working population, if cars that men cannot ride in are introduced, won’t other cars become more crowded? He seems to have said these sorts of things before his death.
But lately I’ve been hearing less and less reports of harm resulting from the “ghost of the women-only passenger car.” In other words, the frequency of his actions of protest has been decreasing.
Did his strong obsession become weaker? Perhaps he did not understand women-only cars during his lifetime because he did not have any opportunity or room in mind to understand them. He has been the “ghost of the women-only passenger car” for many years now, and he sees female passengers every day. Did he change his mind in any way?
I hope he is happy now.
