3.03 - What Happened in the Night

Strange intermission, with no Toru Okada, but ‘a boy’ who hears the Wind-Up Bird and witnesses two anonymous men roaming in the dark, one climbing a tree and never coming back down, the other digging a hole and burying something. First thing that comes to mind is the ‘thing’ that was taken from Creta Kano, or maybe Kumiko’s inborn baby?

3.02 - Waking from Hibernation • One more Name Card • The Namelessness of Money

Money has no name, of course. And if it did have a name, it would no longer be money. What gave money its true meaning was its dark-night namelessness, its breathtaking interchangeability.
