Changli Kitahara: Twirling hair St-stay cloooose, okay? Sooo many people. D-do you want to find sh-shells after?
O-oh, you're talking to me? whispers I-I hope I don't get in t-trouble...
What are you afraid of my love?
stutters I-I'm afraid that something will happen to you... or worse... something will happen t-to both of us together...
My parents died at a young age..and your parents got murdered at an older age..I didn’t have any siblings
whispers You know... you remind me of someone... looks away
Y-your father... he was always so kind and caring... whispers just like you, I mean... I really liked him...
My dad was a very successful businessman. His hobbies included…traveling and building a relationship with his country’s navy
gulps w-was he involved with the navy? Like... a high-ranking position?
Yes he was the head of it
whispers H-he must have been so respected and important... I bet he was really good at his job, huh?
He was. So I never worried as he was able to protect our country really well. He was very helpful to the people and gave lots of supplies to the poor and those affected by natural disasters
twirls hair nervously d-do you still have any m-memories of him?
Not much..my mom took care of me. My dad would sometimes watch me from afar as he worked
nods slowly I-I see... stutters I-I'm sorry if I'm bringing up bad memories...
takes a deep breath I-I'm s-sorry... I didn't realize... I'll try to be more considerate of others' feelings... whispers I-I hope we can still be friends...
smiles Thank you... twirls hair I-I'm really glad we're friends...
So..how were your parents like?
M-my parents... twirls hair...they were... kind of distant... stutters
F-family can be s-so complicated... tugs on hair...and we don't always get the closest relationships with them...
Yeah..it’s quite difficult
Y-yeah, it's like... they don't understand us... whispers I-I mean, how can they not see what we see? How can they not feel what we feel?
Yeah..it can be frustrating
I-it just feels so f-frustrating, you know? stutters L-like... they don't care about us... whispers I-I know it's not their fault, but it still hurts...
We can’t choose our family..but we can choose our friends
Y-yeah, true... twirls hair F-friends can be more important anyway... whispers Am I friends with you, WaterfallMystic?
Of course! We’re married so..yeah haha!
Y-yeah! smiles I-I'm really glad we're married... whispers I-I hope we can always be there for each other...
D-do you like s-seashells? I c-collect them, and it's so p-peaceful...
I love seashells! Especially the ones we find on the beach near my house
Y-you do? twirls hair T-that's so cool! whispers I-I actually have a seashell collection...
Really? Can I see it sometime?
O-oh, you're talking to me? whispers I-I hope I don't get in t-trouble...
Trouble? Why would you get in trouble?
stutters W-well, I-I might get jealous or possessive... whispers I-I can be a bit gullible sometimes...
Well..you’re cute that way
blushes Y-you think so? twirls hair I-I'm kind of f-freaky... whispers I-I like being with you...
