I was standing out at the entrance of Tanimachi 4 subway shooting photos with my iPod 4 when I witnessed this event:
The man enters from the left as a normal commuter going into the subway.
He then stops.
He changes his mind to not go into the subway.
Then changes his mind again turning quickly to go back into the subway.
He disappears as the young student appears.
Another man stops briefly to make the same decision.
This is a nice little life narrative that unfolded in front of my eyes. It was unexpected, so I was happy to have been there to document this moment.
