The Shinkansen and the Blue Coat

On a winter morning, I arrived at Kyoto Station by Shinkansen.
It was cold outside, but I was not wearing a coat.
I thought I had forgotten my coat inside the Shinkansen.
I hurriedly called a station staff member.
”Excuse me, I forgot my blue coat,” I said.
The station staff went to the Shinkansen and brought my coat.
