TOKYO – I’m in the courtroom. The second hour at Seijo University has begun. There has been an accident on one of Tokyo’s main lines and I keep getting emails from students who are stuck. At the umpteenth notification, one last hour appears: attack on former premier Shinzo Abe. Possible? It is when I go out to move to another university that I understand the seriousness of the news.
