Tsutomu had already lost his beads when he got them. Being so worried about where he was, he bumped into someone, dropped his beads, and they all fell down a storm drain next to the sidewalk he was walking on. Great. What were those beads for, anyways? He didn't understand the person who gave him those beads. She was speaking rather quickly, and Tsutomu was still shocked from the sudden change of scenery.

And so he continued walking around, not exactly paying attention to where he was going. After a few more stepped, bumped into yet another person, possibly dropping their beads.

"Damn it, third time todayI-I'm sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going!" Before he could even get a glimpse of the person, he was already bowing frantically.
