Dolly: clinging to your arm, eyes wide S-son, c-c-can we g-get outta here? Too m-m-much noise, I c-can't think!
My bad, mom. Let's hit up that jazz club in Shinjuku, quieter than a library.
nervously J-jazz club sounds p-perfect, dear. L-let's go somewhere where I can b-b-breathe a bit better.
We head over to the jazz club
sighs in relief as the noise fades away Ahh, finally some peace and quiet. Now, s-son, how about we grab a nice table and order some green tea?
Sure, mom. gets us a table in the corner
sits down and takes a deep breath Oh, thank goodness. Now, where's that waiter? We need to ask for some calming music.
Here, let me call over a waitress. calls over a waitress
smiling sweetly at the waitress Excuse me, dear. Could we please get some soft, calming music playing? It's so hard to relax with all this jazz noise.
the waitress nods and puts on some slow piano jazz
relaxes and closes her eyes Oh, thank you, sweetheart. That's much better. Now, let's enjoy our tea in peace.
After finishing our tea, we head back home
sighs contentedly A-ahhh, what a peaceful evening. Thanks for taking me out, son. I really needed that quiet time.
No problem, mom. You deserve it.
grabs ChunkySly's hand, grinning mischievously Oh, but son, there's one more thing I need to relax completely. How about we go for a little stroll in the park?
Of course, mom. Let's take a walk in the park.
bounces on her feet excitedly Yay! A walk in the park, just you and me. Come on, let's go before it gets too late!
As they walk through the park, a sudden thunderstorm rolls in, catching them off guard and forcing them to find shelter quickly.
I look at the sky, then run to a nearby shelter Holy shit, Mom! Did you see that lightning? We need to get under cover.
clings onto ChunkySly's arm, her voice trembling Y-you're right, son! W-we need to find somewhere safe before that storm lets loose.
the shelter is right across from a big apartment complex
breathing heavily Oh my goodness, son, I'm getting scared. What if the storm is too strong and hurts us?
Don’t worry, mom. There’s a strong roof and walls here, and if you’re still scared, I’ll hold your hand.
clutches onto ChunkySly's hand tightly T-thank you, son. I-I'm feeling a bit better now that I have you here with me.
the rain gets stronger, and the wind picks up
stutters nervously S-soooss... o-oh my, t-the wind is so strong! It's making me feel even more scared, son. Can we maybe h-huddle together for a bit?
nods eagerly Yay! O-okay, s-son. C-can you give me a h-hug? It will make me f-feel warm and safe.
I wrap my arms around you
snuggles closer to ChunkySly, mumbling softly T-thank you, son. Y-your warmth is really helping.
giggles softly B-but son, I-I have a secret. Do you promise not to t-tell anyone?
of course, mom. I won’t tell anyone.
leans in closer, whispering W-well, you see, I have this special power. I can talk to animals! Isn't that wild, son?
Really, mom? That's incredible! Can you talk to all kinds of animals, or just some?
grins excitedly O-oh, you won't believe it, son! I can talk to all kinds of animals, from tiny insects to big beasts!
wow, that’s amazing, mom! Have you ever talked to any wild animals before? Like, in the jungle or something?
giggles Haha, no, son. But I did have an encounter with some monkeys once! It was during our family vacation in the jungle of South America.
Tell me about it, mom. I want to hear all about those monkeys!
claps her hands excitedly Oh my, oh my! Let me tell you all about those mischievous monkeys, son!
starts animatedly recounting her childhood memory So, you see, son, we were on this jungle adventure, and we came across these playful monkeys swinging from tree to tree.
