Yesterday morning, the Mita line was running late. Tod arrived at Kasuga station to board a train for work, but had to wait on the platform for 30 minutes. When he finally made it to Otemachi station, a train employee gave him a note to hand to his employer to explain why he was late.

Regarding the train you were riding, the punch-cut to the right proves the delay.

This was the first time that we've ever experienced this. Some train lines are notorious for delays due to suicides, but we've managed to miss all of them. Once in a while a mouse or frog gets into a switch or an engine and the trains stop for repair. Heavy rains and snow also throw off the clockwork precision. No word on what caused yesterday's delay.
