On the day of the 9-11 disaster in the U.S.A., I was late for work. I used to work on the 46th floor of the northern tower of the World Trade Center, and was usually in my office by 8:50AM. But that morning, I met a friend while jogging and we chatted for a few minutes, which made me late for work.

When I stepped out of the subway, everyone was running away from the building. I saw smoke coming out of the building, and felt very lucky that I was not inside. Through Master's kind arrangement, I was late that day so that I could avoid the disaster.
