On a map of the world, there are apparently two areas, located on opposite sides of the planet, where "all corners converge to a point," whatever that means. One of these points was located at a busy street intersection in Tokyo. I went to Tokyo to seek it out. All of the skyscrapers were meticulously detailed, and had one unifying color scheme: white, gray, and sea green. Meanwhile, the entire cityscape was floating above infinite whiteness. Exploration in search of this convergence point would take forever, so I asked some random woman to help me. She barely spoke English. After attempting to give me directions, she simply motioned for me to follow her. She took me to the second floor of a massive apartment complex that was also a Laundromat. This did not help. I left the woman and consulted a random guy. He took me, and several other people, onto a square platform being lifted by a gigantic crane. There was no safety rail, and I almost fell off as we suddenly swooped high across the city. As I was grasping on the edge hard enough to damage my fingers, I noticed that this platform was meticulously constructed with pointless mechanical details just like the buildings. The guy I consulted was operating the crane, but was near the platform the whole time. He did not care that it began violently swinging. That is because he has been doing this for years. People were sliding around, furiously trying not to fall to their deaths. Jon Kaier was there. From sliding around, he got debilitated or injured. I held him in my arms, singing a song that was supposed to help him recover.
I was in my living room. There was an animal that resembled an otter. The distinctive characteristic of this animal was that it had the uncanny ability to emit apple sized spheres of brown material from its mouth. These spheres appeared to be made of some organic material, like that of a compost heap. They were so dense that they would have made very effective ski-balls. The animal kept spitting out many all over my floor, and I started kicking them around. This got him irritated, and he proceeded to organize them, while simultaneously spitting out more.
