Summary
There’s a birds’ nest outside Shouyou’s apartment building.
He notices it one day as he’s locking up his bike. Threading the chain through both tires and the frame, he looks above a defunct security light and there it is. Built of plastic and metal and pieces of black, tarry, stringy stuff that might be from the re-roofing project happening down the street.
Shouyou doesn’t know why mama bird didn’t choose a tree. There’s a scrubby one right next to the apartment building’s front door. It would have been a better place for a nest. A safer place.
Shouyou looks around at his block, the signs in Portuguese, the faces that all look different from his own. Maybe he gets it.
He forgets about the nest completely, until he finds the baby bird.
