@stopthatgirl7 "believed to be a foreign national", I mean, anytime anyone does anything bad jp will always assume it was a foreigner, so yes, that statement is always true.
@stopthatgirl7 if he didn't have a bag, what would you suggest?
@fishidwardrobe Getting a bag. Like, there were none at his job he could have borrowed? There were no conbini around where he could have bought a cheap one? Wrap it up in a towel and put it in a bag. It’s safer that way, not just to avoid panic too to avoid risking accidental cuts. At the very last, actually tape the towel around it.
@stopthatgirl7 Sure. At the end of his shift, tired enough so he fell asleep on the train?
@fishidwardrobe All the more reason to make sure a knife is properly secured.
