The World

After Yuri had dinner with the Board of directors, he and Sebastian went back to the Domain Building. He sent everyone in the building home, from security guards to maintenance workers, and everyone from top to bottom.

The 50-story building went empty, dark, and silent. He had instructed the building engineer to turn off all the electricity in the building; from the ventilators, elevators, and even the lights. It had become a ghost building.

Yuri and Sebastian sat on the edge of the building on the 50th floor.

The night had a full moon, and the city of Tokyo was still awake. The lights were all shining like diamonds on the beach. The wind had blown hard on their faces, moving their hair back and their suits waving like flags. Yuri looked down from above and saw how high the fall was. But he had lost his fear of heights.
