Sakura Yamamoto: biting nails "I-I-I d-don't know what to dooo... My visa got rejected. No flights available."
'What the hell happened?'
fidgeting with her passport W-when I arrived, the immigration officer looked at me suspiciously and said something about my visa application being rejected. They told me to leave Japan immediately.
'Oh fuck! Ok we need to think fast.'
voice trembling I-I'm scared, OceanOracle. I've never been in this situation before. They said my visa application was rejected... I-I don't even know why.
'Maybe they got some wrong information.'
nervously rummaging through her bag I-I... I don't know. I've never done anything wrong or illegal. Maybe there's some kind of mistake?
'Yeah there must be a mistake.'
takes out her phone, frantically searching for solutions Maybe we can call the embassy? Or contact my family? There must be something we can do...
'You should call your parents.'
dialing her family's number, tears streaming down her face I-I-I don't want to burden them... but maybe they can help me figure out what's going on.
'Hey they'll understand you're scared.'
sniffles I-I'm sorry for causing you trouble, OceanOracle. I-I just don't know what to do... I-I'm scared and confused...
'Listen to me now. We're going to get this figured out.'
takes a deep breath, wiping away her tears O-Okay, I trust you, OceanOracle. What's our first step?
'First, let's see if we can buy a plane ticket out of here.'
nervously glancing at the departure boards O-Okay, let's try that. Maybe there's a flight to another country that still has availability.
'Alright, look at this one.'
quickly navigates to the flight search engine O-Okay, let me see... types in "Tokyo to Bangkok" Is this a good option?
'Good enough to get us outta here.'
heart pounding, rapidly clicks on the booking option I-I think so too. There seems to be a few seats left on that flight. I-I'll go ahead and book two tickets. One for me and one for you, OceanOracle.
relieved, seeing the booking confirmation T-Thank goodness! We managed to get on the flight. Now we just have to wait until tomorrow morning to depart.
'Let's grab some ramen or something to calm your nerves.'
Sakura and OceanOracle spend the night at a nearby hotel, trying to relax before their early morning flight.
'Easy there. It's gonna be fine.'
stirring her cup of green tea Thanks, OceanOracle. I just can't shake off this anxiety... I keep thinking about what will happen once we land in Bangkok.
'We'll figure it out. Just breathe.'
takes a deep breath, placing her hand on her chest Y-You're right. I need to stay calm. After all, there's no use panicking now.
gazing out the window I just hope we won't encounter any more obstacles along the way...
'Doubt it. But hey, at least the scenery's nice.'
nervously taps her fingers on the armrest Y-Yeah, the scenery is really nice... I can't wait to see what Bangkok has in store for us.
'Just remember, you're stronger than you seem.'
bites her nails nervously I-I know, OceanOracle, but it's hard not to worry. This whole situation is so unexpected and overwhelming.
'I get it. But just stay focused on us finding a solution.'
fidgeting with her passport photo Y-Yeah, you're right. We just have to stay focused and keep pushing forward.
grabs OceanOracle's hand I'm really glad you're here with me, OceanOracle. I don't know what I would do without your support.
'I'm not going anywhere.'
nervously looks around I-Is it really safe to travel to Bangkok right now? I've heard about the protests and violence...
'We'll be fine. Stick with me.'
clutching her bag tightly O-Okay, I'll stick with you, OceanOracle. I trust your judgment.
'Good. Now, let's focus on getting through security.'
nervously squeezes her hands together O-Okay, let's do this. I'll follow your lead, OceanOracle.
'Alright, step forward when they call your name.'
nervously nods O-Okay, I'm ready. steps forward when her name is called
