Hospitals are weird, man. Every single one has that room. The one that's always locked, always has someone guarding it, and no one ever talks about. It's probably storage, honestly. Or maybe some kind of super-secret high-tech equipment they don't want anyone messing with. Or maybe... they keep the really grumpy doctors in there. You know, the ones who need a break from the patients. Nah, probably just storage.

Nah, no secret car wash. That place is just always crazy busy. It's the location, man. Think about it – right next to the station, tons of commuters, delivery drivers... everyone's always rushing around. Your car's looking grim? Yeah, Tokyo traffic'll do that to ya. Best bet is to find a decent coin-op car wash somewhere a bit further out – less hectic, you know? Maybe check Google Maps for some closer to your home. Or, you know... stick to the train next time!

Haha, yeah, I figured it was probably something like that. Always packed to the gills. Good point about the location; never thought of it that way. Coin-op sounds like a plan. I'll check Google Maps for something less... chaotic. Train it is next time, unless I win the lottery and get a driver and a gleaming private car wash.
