000020:Hello?
000030:	001;Can we talk a little bit
000040:Yeah~ I'm still waiting to board.
000050:	002;Darling.... Take me with you...
000060:Aw... I wish I can bring you in my pocket...
000070:But I'm afraid that someone like the airport security would take you away from me because of how cute you are... haha
000080:Anyways.
000090:	000;
000100:I came here just on time but the flight is delayed for about 10 minutes because of the weather.
000110:Oh.... this reminds me of my school field trip. The weather was terrible on the first day.
000120:	001;How bad was it?
000130:It poured rain when we left. Thankfully it stopped when we arrived...
000140:But the wind blew like crazy.
000150:	002;That must be disappointing...
000160:It was. The place had really beautiful scenery.
000170:If the weather was good, it would've been fun to just walk around
000180:But it was cloudy and windy throughout.
000190:	003;The weather here is great right now.+#061c_5
000200:Really? It's really cloudy here...
000210:##011_150
000220:That's good. Don't you like sunny weather?
000230:##
000240:I hope the weather here clears up too... Oh, anyways back to my field trip story.
000250:	000;
000260:The place is known as a windy area to begin with
000270:After we arrived, we wore our raincoats and tried to take a group photo. It was really windy so everyone's raincoat was fluttering.
000280:Suddenly someone's raincoat was blown off and stuck to the camera.
000290:And the picture ended up looking like someone applied a hot pink filter on it.
000300:That was the best motherent of that field trip. Do you have any fun field trip memories?
000310:	001;The time I went to a museum was my favorite.
000320:Why? Did something interesting happen?
000330:		001;Not really, but it was very educational~ I learned a lot from it.+#061c_15
000340:Oh~ darling that sounds like you had a field trip that really gave you field experience.
000350:My friends were too busy messing around. Getting in trouble for pulling pranks and being loud...
000360:We were full of energy. Also, we didn't think much before we acted haha
000370:		002;I just sat somewhere and chat with friends.
000380:Oh yeah. Usually, you get free time to roam around and come back to the gathering spot.
000390:There were always kids trying to have a mini date during that free time.
000400:And become the gossip in school when they get caught together.... haha those were the good old days.
000410:		000;
000420:	002;The last night of the field trips is the best.
000430:Haha. I agree. The recreational activities on the last night are the best!
000440:I don't understand why I was so excited about it.
000450:		001;I also participated in the talent show.+#061c_25
000460:Woah really? Honey, you must have been talented. It's not something that anyone can force you to do.
000470:I'm curious what you id for the talent show. Is there a video of it?
000480:The talent show footage of my darling... I would keep it as my treasure forever. hehe.
000490:		002;Remember the tear-filled campfire?
000500:Haha... Yeah I remember. Sitting in a circle around the campfire and having a serious talk.
000510:A lot of the kids were a bit apathetic about it, but all of a sudden, the quietest kid in our class started crying.
000520:He said he'll be a better person from now on. It almost felt like a confession or something haha. It was the first time I saw that side of him .
000530:		000;
000540:	003;Playing truth or dare was the best....
000550:Oh~ The ones you do in the room at night? I remember mostly talking about who had a crush on who.
000560:Was there a lot of drama?
000570:		001;It was like a soap opera.
000580:##001_110
000590:Really? That must've been interesting... haha
000600:##
000610:Hm... for us, it was like giving up on a crush if another friend already had a crush on that person.
000620:Something like ‘That person is the first love of my life... but I will give her up for friendship... goodbye my love..’ haha
000630:		002;My friends almost got into a fight...
000640:Wow... That sounds intense.
000650:But I think its better to fight and get to know each other's thoughts rather than having misunderstandings from not knowing each other.
000660:I'm not just talking about between friends.... I think that way about us too.
000670:That's why I want to talk to you a lot. I would rather have a genuine relationship with you~
000680:		000;
000690:	004;I didn't go on the field trip because something came up.
000700:I didn't know that... You must have been disappointed.
000710:Well but you'll have plenty of time to travel with friends~ It's way less restricting than field trips and more fun to plan together with your friends.
000720:You should try travelling with your friends if you've never done it. You'll make a lot of good memories to cherish
000730:	000;
000740:Oh, I also had pillow fights at night. It was really funny.
000750:	001;Sounds like you had wild nights.
000760:Oh yeah. I had some wild nights eating dust haha. At least I didn't break stuff.
000770:One of my friends laughed so hard that he stepped on one of my sleeping friend's leg and fell.
000780:He was limping till the noon of next day but the friend that got stepped on was totally fine. He didn't even wake up from his sleep.
000790:	002;Did you win the fight? You must have won.+#001_180
000800:My team was winning at first, but we were outnumbered and lost because one of the guys in my team stepped on a sleeping guy's leg and fell.
000810:	000;
000820:Even after being stepped on, he was still asleep very peacefully... All of us laughed really hard after seeing that.
000830:That got us caught by the teacher and we got scolded by our teacher.
000840:	001;It sounds like the guy has reached nirvana...
000850:Darling, how did you know? His nickname in school was Buddha.
000860:Even when our teacher was scolding us for being loud, he was still asleep throughout the whole thing.
000870:Our teacher was like ‘look at him. you should have more peace in mind and sleep like him.' and burst into laughter thankfully we got away with it.
000880:	002;Maybe he woke up but pretended as he was still asleep because he didn't want to be scolded by your teacher?
000890:Maybe. He was a wise guy. His nickname in school was Buddha.
000900:I actually tried to go to sleep when he fell asleep because I was tired.
000910:But one of the guys stepped on one of my legs and I had to take part of the pillow fight. To avenge my leg... haha
000920:	000;
000930:It seems really silly looking back to it, but it was really fun back then.
000940:Maybe schools send people to field trips to build memories like that.
000950:Oh, hold on.
000960:...
000970:Honey. Its time to board the plane. I'll talk to you when I get there!
000980:[bgm:off]

000990:#RECEIVE;
001000:Hey honey, I just got off the phone and was about to call you.
001010:#CALLBACK;
001020:Hello? Perhaps you were a bit busy. I'm done with the phone call.
001030:#START;
001040:It was my high school friends.
001050:We were trying to arrange a time to hang out since I'm here but it didn't work out.
001060:	001;It's hard to arrange a time for a group to hang out.
001070:Yeah. Especially since it was so last minute. Everyone already had plans.
001080:	002;That must have been disappointing... You haven't seen them for a while.
001090:Yeah... But I still keep in touch with them through messengers.
001100:Hanging out can happen next time.
001110:	000;
001120:It's not just my friends. I haven't seen my mother for a while.
001130:I guess I was busy lately.
001140:	001;Did you talk about anything new?
001150:Not really... mostly talked about the TV show and my movies.
001160:	002;She must have been worried...
001170:Not really~ She's not the worrying type
001180:Actually.... to a point that it's a problem sometimes. haha
001190:	000;
001200:My mon is actually... really chill about stuff.
001210:I already told you a lot about my father so I guess you already know... that he is random and free-spirited.
001220:My mother raised me as a free-range kid.
001230:	001;You must've been very rebellious for her to give up on disciplining you...
001240:What? Haha no it wasn't like that~
001250:It's not that I was rebellious... I didn't have that many chances to rebel.
001260:She just didn't tell me to do things in general. I didn't have a thing to rebel against.
001270:	002;Talking about free-range made imagine %% running around in a grassy field.
001280:Yeah... I can see myself grazing grass and hang out on a grassy knoll.
001290:And when it starts raining.... I will be like Honey meh... Where are you meh... With teary eyes.
001300:Anyways... What were we talking about... Oh yeah, free-range.
001310:	000;
001320:It's not just my friends. I haven't seen my mother for a while.
001330:Stuff like coming back home on my own after playing outside and cleaning after myself after eating.
001340:She already had a lot on her plate so she decided to take a different approach to it.
001350:I think she believed that everyone has their own life.
001360:	001;Your mother is really cool...
001370:Haha You think so? Some people thought it was weird when I told them.
001380:Especially because there are dedicated mothers that take care of every single thing for their children.
001390:But I think because my mother raised me like this, I was able to become more independent and not afraid to speak out my thoughts.
001400:		001;Some people treat their children as their property.
001410:You're right... And they push their own childhood dream on their children.
001420:It stresses out the children because their opinions are not respected... And the parents are disappointed because the children fail to meet their expectations.
001430:Ah, it makes me think that I should be careful when I become a father.
001440:		002;You should be grateful to your mother~
001450:Haha, of course, ~ I am really grateful.
001460:But when I try to express it, just like that! she tries to escape that situation... She is a bit shy about stuff like that.. haha.
001470:I should thank her out of nowhere before I go back home.
001480:When I thank her out of nowhere, maybe she'll have no idea what I'm talking about. Haha
001490:		000;
001500:	002;Didn't that make you feel disappointed? There are mothers that take care of everything for their child.
001510:Hm.... I was jealous of friends with parents like that when I was very young.
001520:When their parents prepared the school supplies for them but I got in trouble for forgetting to bring them to school.
001530:But as I grew up, I realized that knowing my mistakes helped me not repeat the same mistakes.
001540:When someone takes care of my responsibilities, I became more negligent and ended up making bigger mistakes.
001550:		001;Your mother saw the big picture...
001560:Haha In a way she did.
001570:And at the same time, she is enjoying her life~
001580:So it was beneficial to our whole family.
001590:		002;Perhaps she raised you like that because she knew you are a good person?
001600:Hm... Do you think so? That's very nice of you.
001610:But I think she did more than just trusting me. I think she looked at me in an objective way.
001620:How should I saw it... She didn't have vague expectations nor underestimated me.
001630:So she taught me what I really needed.
001640:		000;
001650:	000;
001660:Ah, I think this is the first time I told you about my mother.
001670:It feels weird to talk about my parents like this.
001680:	001;It's fine~ It feels like I got to know you better.
001690:I'm glad if that's the case.
001700:I want to hear from you if there is a chance. Please tell me about your parents later.
001710:	002;Now I really want to meet her~
001720:Haha. My mother loves determined people.... I think you two will get along well.
001730:Thinking about it already makes me happy... haha
001740:	003;I'm more curious about you... Tell me more about yourself next time.
001750:Ok~ I was too excited to be back in my childhood home.... Let's talk about something more exciting next time.
001760:	000;
001770:Uh, hold on.
001780:Yeah? Oh~ it's right in front of here right? Ok.
001790:Hello?
001800:I have to go run some errands
001810:I'll talk to you later. Enjoy your day~!
//c_D+10
001820:#RECEIVE;
001830:Darling~
001840:#CALLBACK;
001850:Hello? Did I call you when you were busy?
001860:#START;
001870:	001;Do you mind if we text?
001880:Um... A little bit?
001890:	002;Are you still outside?
001900:Yup.
001910:	000;
001920:I'm on my way to buy a light bulb
001930:I thought it would be easier to talk on the phone while I'm trying to pick which one to buy.
001940:By the way, I told you earlier that I ran into a friend from high school.
001950:And I thought about it and realized maybe I walked past some of the other friends like that.
001960:	001;Perhaps one of your high school friends is watching you right now... Every breath you take!
001970:Woah... That sounds... kinda creepy?
001980:A friend I don't know... is watching me.
001990:That kinda sounds like a scenario idea.
002000:		001;%%.... You became a handsome man since the last time I saw you... I really loved you...
002010:No wonder... It felt like I was being watched.... It was the protagonist of a tragedy watching me....
002020:I wish they muster up the courage and made a move
002030:Then... I could have reported them to the police as a stalker... I had my share of being stalked when the camera for the Muse of Musical was following me....
002040:		002;MM DD 20XX... %%... Vital signs stable. Mental health stable. All clear. Over!
002050:It turns out I am a cyborg
002060:The stay at the hospital was all staged to replace the parts in my legs...
002070:And you are talking to me to observe me... I hope not...
002080:Because I am going to give you love not data~
002090:		003;I'm jealous that you have so many ideas for a scenario.
002100:Haha. It's not always like that. There are times that I am tormented because I can't come up with an idea.
002110:So its good to take notes of ideas when it comes to me like this.
002120:		000;
002130:	002;My childhood friends have a hard time recognizing me when we meet.
002140:I see. You must have changed a lot.
002150:		001;The way I dress changed a lot~
002160:Oh~ yeah. I remember going to a high school reunion when I just started attending university and some people changed a lot in such a short time.
002170:Maybe it's because I only saw them in the same school uniform and that was the first time I saw them express their individuality.
002180:		002;They say I have a different vibe because my personality changed.
002190:Really? So you weren't like this before...
002200:##000_21
002210:You must've been more independent back then.
002220:Now you are more cute and relaxed.
002230:##
002240:##000_22
002250:Maybe you were more organize?
002260:The darling I know is more instinctual. Haha.
002270:##
002280:##000_23
002290:The present-day you are more independent and cool.
002300:Maybe you were kinda different.
002310:##
002320:##000_24
002330:If your personality was different from now...
002340:Maybe you were more individualistic? Haha.
002350:##
002360:I don't know how you were in the past... but I think the present day you is very lovely.
002370:I bet your friends also meant it as a compliment~
002380:		000;
002390:	000;
002400:To think about it, I talk to my friends a lot about meeting up but it doesn't happen that often.
002410:Same with my friends from college. We always talk about going out for a drink or lunch.
002420:	001;It's all just empty promises. I hate it when someone says "we should grab lunch"
002430:Hm... Actually, I used to just say that and push actually making time for it.
002440:The more I did that, the more I hated saying that and end up contacting people way less.
002450:But it doesn't feel right to lose touch with people like that... So I immediately set a date whenever there is a talk about the meeting. It makes it easier to meet.
002460:That's when I realized that it's not that the other person doesn't want to see me. it's just that they were waiting for me to ask.
002470:I thought that I should reach out to them first. It is always nice to meet people again.
002480:	002;Me too... I miss everyone.
002490:Yeah... I see what my friends are up to on social media once in a while and they seem to be doing well.
002500:Seeing what they are up to like that makes me think that it's not necessary to actually meet them. If I want to know in more detail, I can just message them.
002510:But it does sound contradictory. You want to see them but you don't need to...Hmm.
002520:	000;
002530:Ah, hold on darling.
002540:Is there a smaller... This... Oh, gee, only in boxes...
002550:Hello?
002560:Darling, I'm about to buy light bulbs... and I need both hands.
002570:I'll talk to you when I get home.
002580:Have a nice dinner if you didn't eat yet!
002590:Talk to you later~
