I was walking along a coastal road with a long curve. Two small boats can be seen on the sea. It was very clear, the sky was a beautiful light blue, and the color of the sea was closer to navy than to blue.

Suddenly I saw something bright red spout out from around between the two small boats. At first I had no idea at all what it was, but gradually I understood that it was an undersea volcano erupting.

It was so vivid, yes, even more vivid than cadmium red. Because the magma has energy, the energy of the light is that much greater.

The eruption spread sideways, shot up like a wall, and then gradually died down.

As I kept going along that road, before I knew it I was walking not by the sea but on a road in town, and along the shape where the magma had spouted out, a large cave-in had formed in the road, like a trench.

And, the next moment, there was an earthquake, and all the people who had been walking jumped into that trench and crouched down, waiting for the earthquake to stop.

I kept going along the road, thinking this much would be fine.
