I sneak a glimpse of Meimi. She was looking at the moon,too.The faint moonlight fell upon Meimi. She seemed somehowvery different from the high-energy girl she always isduring the day......Somehow mysterious. Hmmm.I just don't understand why the night ocean is supposedto be mysterious.It only has a scary image for me.Although I don't have a specific reason to be scaredof it at night. If something is beautiful, then it's the moon, by far.But it isn't because I can't swim.But even if I told Meimi, she wouldn't believe me... %001: What are you doing here by yourself?Meimi: ...Me?Meimi: What about you?%001: ............................%001: Just walking on the beach, I guess. %001: It's nice out here, isn't it?Meimi: Yes, I guess.Meimi: .............Meimi: %001?%001: Hm?Meimi: D'you want to take a walk?%001: Sure, why not? Meimi: The ocean at night is really mysterious, isn't it?%001: To tell the truth, I'm scared of it.Meimi: That's probably because you can't swim, %001.%001: ...I guess I'm just the non-swimmer...*sob*...Meimi: There there, don't cry.%001: You're making fun of me.Meimi: Ha, ha. Maybe a little%001: Doh! %001: By the way, do you know if Seia learned to swim?Reiko was going to teach her.Meimi: I don't know.%001: Really? I thought you would know. CT08D ; CT08DA0 Meimi: I don't, okay?%001: What are you mad about?Meimi: ............. %001: ...Did anything happen? What's the deal with youlately?%001: You were like that earlier today at the river whenwe were skipping stones...Meimi: ......! %001: Is it something I've done?%001: I really don't know what it would be. But if youtell what it is, I'll make sure I never do it again.Meimi: .............. %001: Meimi, are you listening?Meimi: ...........2 *THUMP*.....Meimi tripped in the sand, face down.%001: Meimi? CT08F CT08I< CT08IA0 Meimi: .....Oh, I'm all dirty now. %001: Are you all right?I gave Meimi my hand and pulled her up.%001: Doesn't seem like there was anything here to tripover.%001: ...Look, you've got sand all over you.I brushed the sand off her clothes and her hair....Weird, I feel like her mother or something.TB_008CT08F < CT08A0 Meimi: Thanks, %001.%001: No sweat. %001: Are you okay? Did you hurt yourself?Meimi: No, I'm fine. Thanks.%001: Good.Meimi: .........Meimi: Hey %001. So what kind of person is Ruri? %001: Huh?Meimi: Oh, that's not what I mean! I...I thought I'd like to become her friend, that's all.%001: Oh, you did, huh?Meimi: Um, so, %001. What do you want to be?%001: When I...grow up...?Meimi: Yeah, your dreams... My dream is to be what my Momwas.%001: She was a circus star, right?Meimi: Yes! She's was a trapeze artist! Meimi: I still remember it so clearly, my Mom in thespotlight, with everybody applauding.Meimi: She would fly through the air, above everyone inthe tent.Meimi: She was beautiful. I thought she was an angel.Meimi: When Mom was at home, everyone always said thatshe was pretty, but... I always thought she was the mostbeautiful when she was performing.Meimi: ...I want to be just like that, even though I'llprobably have a short life. She wasn't well-known, butI always want to follow her...Meimi: You could say that I feel very strongly in myheart that I'm her child.%001: .....................(So, I guess there is someone that Meimi can respect.) %001: I'm sure you can do it, Meimi.%001: If you know what you want, I'm sure you have theguts to reach it, Meimi. It'll be fine. I guarantee it. CT08K ; CT08KA0 Meimi: Ah, Thanks, %001.TB_008CT08F < CT08A0 Meimi: So tell me your dream now, %001.%001: My dream...?%001: ..............%001: You know, don't really have one. Meimi: You don't have one? Why?Meimi: But you can do anything, %001.%001: ...Yeah, well I guess that's the reason.Meimi: ...Eh? %001: It does seem like I can do anything.%001: ...But I think that's the reason why I don't haveany goals.%001: I can learn most things in just a day. So when I'velearned, nobody beats me.%001: You know that mountain climber who said he climbed amountain 'because it was there'?%001: But it's not really a challenge to climb a mountain inone step, is it? CT08I ; CT08IA0 Meimi: I guess.%001: There's no point in doing something that's so easyto reach. Meimi: But %001!%001: Hm?Meimi: ................%001: ...............%001: Oh, well.%001: Well, that's how I feel right now, but I'm sure I'llfind something. I'll just be patient, and I have todecide by the time I graduate anyway.Meimi: ...............%001: Don't look at me like that. I'm fine, okay?Meimi: ....Okay.... %001: ..............Meimi: ..............Now I feel all embarrassed. %001: Well, what is it?Meimi: Uh, um...%001: .............Meimi: ..............%001: What? What do you want to say?Meimi: Uh...TB_008CT08F < CT08A0 Meimi: I have an idea! Um, %001. Why don't you try being a clown?%001: Huh?Meimi: A clown...a circus clown.%001: Oh, right. Meimi: That's what my Dad does, he says it's reallydifficult to be a good clown.Meimi: They have to do dangerous stuff on purpose. Themost difficult thing to do is to make the people laugh.%001: Making people laugh....is difficult?Meimi: Yes. People nowadays, they've all gotten reallypassive, right? From television and things like that.Meimi: So, he says that if you don't pull some reallyoutrageous stunts, it won't work.%001: That's probably true.Meimi: So, even if you make a mistake, your show stillreally has to be flashy.Meimi: On top of all this, you have to try not to injureyourself. It's hard.%001: Wow, sure sounds that way. Meimi: What's hard is not only the way you carry yourself.Meimi: You also have to make up a story, and then you haveto make mistakes on purpose, but you can't let the audienceknow that, because it would ruin the show.%001: Right.Meimi: So not just anybody can be a clown, you know.Meimi: Even in the circus, the clown is one of the mostrespected performers there.%001: I didn't know that. %001: So Meimi, you really like the circus, don't you?Meimi: Huh?%001: When you talk about the circus, your eyes light up. Meimi: Really?%001: Yeah.Meimi: ............. CT08I ; CT08IA0 Meimi: ....I...suppose so.%001: ??? %001: Are you all right? What's wrong?Meimi: ...Uh...No, I'm fine.%001: Really? You look as though you're going to cry. CT08K ; CT08KA0 Meimi: It's nothing. Really, I'm fine.%001: Are you sure...?Meimi: Don't worry. Actually, want to walk some more?And talk some more...?%001: ....Sure, I don't mind.Meimi: Thanks, %001.Suddenly, Meimi took my arm.%001: Meimi?Meimi: What's wrong with it, just for a while..... Okay?%001: .......%001: Okay, whatever.We walked together around the dark beach.The light of the moon seemed strangely bright and warm.Of course, that could have been because Meimi was there,walking at my side.<.................And so, summer ended...There were all kinds of memories....................< *SQUELCH*???: .................*SQUELCH*???: .................*SPLASH* CT13F< CT13A0 Dean: .................Dean: ...Finally...got back...Dean: I passed out, got drunker than I've been inyears...Dean: And then when I woke up and looked around, Iwas on this island that I've never seen...Dean: I don't think I'll be drinking with Kyoko-sensei anymore...=CS701.OVL %001: Well, she's the transfer student.%001: Makoto says that she's been transferred all overthe place because of her family. That's what they say.Meimi: ...I've heard that, too.%001: Oh. %001: To tell the truth, we don't know what her hobbies andinterests are because she won't talk to us.Meimi: Yeah. She doesn't talk at all. %001: Let's see, what else?%001: .............Meimi: ................%001: Eh? %001: Hmm, what else can I say about her?Meimi: ...............%001: Hmmm...Meimi: Uh, thanks, %001. That's okay.%001: Sorry I can't help you more. She asked me about my dream.Can't say that I've thought about it much...I'm sure there must have been something in elementaryschool.But there isn't now.I gave my best but it wasn't any use.Dammit, I'm flailing here. And just when Meimi wasgetting more cheerful. %001: Well it's pretty late, so I'm going to bed.%001: You know, it's time you went back yourself.Goodnight.Meimi: W- Wait!%001: Do you have something you want to tell me?Meimi: Um, yes.
