After work, Hiro and Ando discuss the ability to manipulate space and time on the escalator of the subway station. Later, Hiro stands in a subway car and notices a poster advertising New York City. He closes his eyes to concentrate, and the subway clock begins to change. Suddenly, he's in Times Square.

  • Hiro thinks that Midland-Odessa's public transportation system rivals Tokyo's "sprawling, tangled subways for confusion and complications". (Chapter 8)
  • Hiro recalls being in the Tokyo subway one second, heading home from a karaoke bar, and in Times Square the next second. (Chapter 17)
  • At the Narita Airport, Hiro buys a gift for Charlie—at first he considers buying a T-shirt printed with a picture of the Nippori subway station. (Chapter 22)
