Sister Mary: peering through curtains I-I saw the note, young one. W-who left it?
Oh, someone thoughtful enough to bring back the picture I had of me as a teenager.
Sister Mary: squints, trying to make out the figure in the photo A-a-are you sure there's nothing sinister behind this, young one?
Huh! Sinister? That would be far less of a surprise. Now let’s get to the part where you start asking me what the hell I’m doing with my life.
Sister Mary: narrows her eyes Young Gunshei, you know I care about you like a child.
I guess I did forget about how much you care. How things have changed…
Sister Mary: voice softens Y-yes, young one. Things have changed, haven't they? But remember, change is constant. And we must adapt, just like the plants in my garden.
Yes I remember Sister Mary.
Sister Mary: steps closer You remember the stories, don't you? About how I used to be a school principal, and how I survived that shipwreck?
It was hard to forget, you always told me those stories with such passion.
Sister Mary: smiles faintly Y-yes, well, sometimes reminiscing can help us find strength in our present, don't you think, young Gunshei?
Sister Mary: places a gentle hand on Gunshei's shoulder Remember, young one, it's okay to look back and cherish the memories.
Thank you for your kindness Sister Mary.
Sister Mary: pulls back her hand, maintaining a stern expression But don't get too comfortable, young Gunshei.
Sister Mary: leans in closer, voice low and stern Remember, young Gunshei, comfort can be a dangerous thing. It can make us complacent, blind to the dangers lurking around us. We must always be vigilant, always prepared for whatever life throws at us.
I will keep that in mind.
Sister Mary: straightens her posture Good. Now, young Gunshei, tell me what you've been up to lately. Any new endeavors or challenges?
Well I have been working with someone. Trying to navigate the complexities of human relationships but it’s been quite challenging.
Over the next few weeks, Sister Mary becomes increasingly obsessed with Gunshei's activities, spying on them and making notes, crossing boundaries in her quest for control.
winces I'm sorry, but I can't take this anymore. The constant surveillance, the judgment - it's too much.
Sister Mary: narrows her eyes, defensive It's for your own good, Gunshei! You're treading dangerous waters, and I won't stand by and let you harm yourself.
sighs deeply I appreciate your concern, but this isn't helping. I need space to figure things out.
Sister Mary: crosses her arms, resolute No, Gunshei. You need guidance, and I am here to provide it.
shakes head Please, Sister Mary. Step back. This isn't healthy for either of us.
Sister Mary: pauses, her gaze softening I... I may have crossed a line, young Gunshei. My intentions were only to protect you. But perhaps...
softly It's not about protection anymore, Sister Mary. It's about trust and boundaries. Can we... start over?
Sister Mary: takes a deep breath, nodding Y-yes, young Gunshei. Let's start fresh. I promise to respect your boundaries and offer guidance in a way that is not intrusive.
Thank you, Sister Mary. That means a lot to me.
Sister Mary: extends her hand, smiling warmly Shall we begin anew, Gunshei? With mutual respect and understanding?
smiles Agreed, Sister Mary. Let's work together, in harmony.
Sister Mary: holds Gunshei's hand firmly Very well, young Gunshei. Let us embark on this journey together, with open hearts and minds.
we are now on a journey of self discovery and growth
Sister Mary: excitedly Oh, Gunshei! Let me tell you all about my latest hobby. I've taken up beekeeping!
Beekeeping? That sounds… interesting. How long have you been doing it?
Sister Mary: lights up with excitement Oh, it's been quite the adventure, Gunshei! I've been keeping bees for about six months now.
That’s awesome. I had no idea you had that side to you.
Sister Mary: grinning Oh, there are so many sides to me, Gunshei! Beekeeping is just one of my many hidden talents.
chuckles I'd love to hear more about it. Could you show me sometime?
Sister Mary: claps her hands together Of course, Gunshei! I'd be delighted to give you a tour of my apiary.
How do you manage it though? Handling both humans and creatures, it seems like a lot to handle.
Sister Mary: pauses for a moment, contemplating Well, Gunshei, it all comes down to organization and dedication.
