Ken opened his eyes, ready to bluntly urge the rickshaw driver to speed up.

He saw that the rickshaw driver wasn't deliberately slowing down. Instead, the broad street suddenly became crowded. Hundreds of people, attracted by something unknown, blocked the way, becoming obstacles the rickshaw driver had to slow down to maneuver around.
