Sotsona and Casimir wake up in each other’s arms, looking flustered. They awkwardly release from each other’s grasp and sit up straight. They both blush immensely. Casimir Line 1) G-Good morning. Sotsona Line 2) G-Good morning to you too. They look at each other, then swerve eye contact from the embarrassment of sleeping beside each other all night. Casimir Line 3) So… How’d you sleep? Sotsona Line 4) I sleep great actually- Sotsona realizes something. Line 5) Sotsona’s inner thoughts: I can’t say I sleep great, even though I did. Admitting to that willl just make it awkward between us. Sotsona Line 6) Fine. I slept fine. Casimir awkwardly responds. Casimir Line 7) Oh. Well. As long as you got some sleep. That’s all that matters. Sotsona Line 8) What about you? Casimir Line 9) I was able to get sleep after the night we had, which was extremely necessary since I was very scared. So. Success. Casimir gives Sotsona a thumbs up. Casimir Line 10) And I think that us sleeping by each other’s side helped me actually GO to sleep. Sotsona awkwardly responds. Sotsona Line 11) Yeah. I’m glad we’re able to help each other in that department. Casimir Line 12) So am I. Are you feeling better? Sotsona Line 13) I mean, it’s morning, so I don’t feel AS scared. Sotsona Line 14) But, who knows how I’ll feel when it gets dark. What about you? Casimir Line 15) I’m on the same boat. Sotsona Line 16) So, if we need to use each other tonight again…? Casimir Line 17) That would be helpful. Is that alright with you? Sotsona nods her head. Casimir Line 18) I’m sorry that I got us into this mess. Sotsona Line 19) I already told you not to worry about that. I was the one who agreed with your idea at the end of the day. Sotsona Line 20) On the bright side, we’re one step closer to facing our fears. Sotsona Line 21) And, if we’re ever in a situation like that again, we’ll know exactly what to do. Sotsona Line 22) It makes us tough cookies. Our survival instincts will kick in to help us. Sotsona Line 23) Also, we have something cool we can tell other people about. Casimir appreciatively smiles. Casimir Line 24) I know you’re only saying that to make me feel better. But, thanks. Sotsona further justifies herself. Sotsona Line 25) No. I mean it. Don’t feel guilty. I had a choice not to come, but I did, and that’s on me. Sotsona Line 26) We share an original experience together. Sotsona Line 27) That brings us closer to each other. You’re the only person that’ll understand me. Casimir blushes. Casimir Line 28) Either way, I won’t put us in dire situations like this ever again. The both of them get ready for the day and eat breakfast. During breakfast, Casimir stikes a conversation with Sotsona. Casimir Line 29) Do you feel like going somewhere today? Sotsona Line 30) Well, yeah. We’re on vacation. We have to go somewhere. We can’t just stay at the hotel all day. Casimir Line 31) In that case, you pick where we go for the day. Sotsona picks the tourist pamphlet (provided by the hotel) back up again and looks through it*. *Refer back to episode 46, details in between lines 85 and 86, for when she first used the pamphlet. Sotsona spots an attraction listed about skydiving. Her eyes widen in thrill. Sotsona Line 32) What if we went skydiving? Casimir’s eyes widen in shock, not expecting Sotsona to bring up such an idea. Casimir Line 33) Skydiving?! That’s crazy! Sotsona Line 34) But it goes along with the theme of crossing things off our bucket lists. Casimir reasons with Sotsona in distress. Casimir Line 35) And it also goes along the theme of putting ourselves in dire situations. Casimir Line 36) Are you sure you want to do this? Sotsona Line 37) Yeah, why not? Compared to what happened last night, this is honestly nothing. Casimir nervously chews on his fingernail in distress. Sotsona Line 38) What? Scared of heights? Casimir replies in a hesitant way. Casimir Line 39) No… Sort of… Sotsona Line 40) Well, me too. So, let’s both face our fears. Casimir thinks in a worrisome manner. Casimir Line 41) What if I pass out? Sotsona Line 42) So you pass out. That’s only temporary. You’ll eventually regain your consciousness. Casimir looks at Sotsona with uncertainty. Sotsona Line 43) At least you can say that you went sky diving. Sotsona Line 44) Come on. We’re in our early twenties. Everyone else is doing risky things. We might as well hop on the train to join them. Casimir Line 45) What if we don’t have a parachute strapped onto us and realize that only after we jump off the plane? Sotsona places her hands on Casimir’s shoulders to console him. Sotsona Line 46) Can you imagine how much backlash a skydiving company would receive? Sotsona Line 47) That’s not something they’re going to let happen. I promise. Sotsona Line 48) They’ll assure us we’ll be able to land safely. We must take their word. Casimir continues to look at Sotsona with uncertainty. Sotsona laughs in irony. Sotsona Line 49) It’s like you and I switched teams. Now, you’re the one that’s getting all antsy. Casimir pouts his lips in guilt, further justifying himself. Casimir Line 50) All for the right reasons. Casimir looks at Sotsona in shame. Casimir Line 51) I saw how frightened you looked last night. I just don’t want to see that look on your face ever again. Sotsona offer Casimir a reassuring smile. Sotsona Line 52) That’s all in the past. I’ve told you countless times by now not to worry. Sotsona Line 53) I'm not forcing you though. If you don’t want to go skydiving, then where else should we go? Sotsona passes the pamphlet to Casimir for him to look at. Casimir hesitantly looks around the pamphlet. He sighs processing Sotsona’s reasoning. Casimir Line 54) Do you really want to go? Sotsona Line 55) I mean, I’m not desperate to go. But it’s an opportunity we have, so why not just take it while it’s there. You’re the one that told me that*. *Refer back to episode 46, line 95 and episode 47, line 35 and 60. Casimir sadly smiles at Sotsona for remembering small details. Casimir Line 56) Who would’ve thunk that you could change so easily overnight? And now you’re using my own words against me. Casimir gives Sotsona a reassuring smile, feeling better after her consolations. Casimir Line 57) Let’s go then. You’re right. Sotsona’s eyes widen from Casimir’s agreement. They arrive at the skydiving site and get dressed in their uniforms. Casimir exits out of the changing room to show Solsona his attire. Casimir Line 58) How do I look? Sotsona replies in a joking manner. Sotsona Line 59) Like you’re ready to go skydiving. How else should you look? Casimir disappointedly looks at Sotsona. She laughs. Sotsona Line 60) I’m just kidding. You look… Sotsona Line 61) Fearless. Exceptional. Brave. Daring. Courageous… Casimir smiles at Sotsona, realizing her reference*. *Refer back to episode 47, line 2 and 3. He gives her a smug expression. Casimir Line 62) I see what you did there. Casimir Line 63) How’re you feeling? I’m feeling nervous. Sotsona Line 64) I’m also feeling nervous, but definitely in a good way. Casimir Line 65) I’m sweating so much under this suit, it's unbearable. Sotsona gives Casimir a reassuring rub on his shoulders. They get on the plane along with the sky-diving instructors and start flying higher and higher for their drop-off. Sotsona looks out the plane window, observing how high they’re going. She looks nervous. Sotsona Line 66) Jeez. How many feet above ground are we? Instructor Line 67) Currently, we’re 4,000 feet above ground. Sotsona looks at Casimir in shock. Sotsona Line 68) And how high are we going? Instructor Line 69) 13,500 feet. Casimir and Sotsona nervously look at each other. Instructor Line 70) We’ll be free falling for around 1 minute. Sotsona feels slightly relieved from the clarification. Sotsona Line 71) For only 1 minute? That doesn’t sound so bad. Casimir freaks out. Casimir Line 72) Not when we’re 13,500 feet above ground! The instructor confidently assures them. Instructor Line 73) Don’t be afraid you two. Instructor Line 74) At the start, it’ll feel like you’re abruptly plummeting towards the earth. A scared, blank expression engulfs both Casimir's and Sotsona’s faces. The instructor passionately continues to explain. Instructor Line 75) But once you feel the breeze, there’s no other way to describe it besides feeling like you're flying, piercing through the sky ever so gracefully. Instructor Line 76) It’s such a vitalizing experience. Instructor Line 77) I’m sure you guys will find it fun. They finally make it 13,500 feet above ground. Casimir and Sotsona get strapped onto their diving partners. They’re all set and ready to start diving. Instructor Line 78) Alright. Do you guys feel ready? Sotsona looks at Casimir for assurance and he nervously nods his head. Casimir Line 79) We’ve already come this far. It’s not like we can back out now. Instructor Line 80) Alright. Be prepared to jump. Casimir glances at Sotsona. She nervously smiles at him, trying to boost his confidence. Sotsona Line 81) I’ll see you down there. Casimir Line 82) You too. Their instructors go to the ledge of the plane and get ready to jump off. Casimir looks at Sotsona one last time. Their gazes interlock and she nods her head. Both of their instructors jump off at the same time. Sotsona and Casimir scream for their lives, both hearing each other. The fall down to the earth. Sotsona slightly calms down as she’s falling. Sotsona’s narration: Line 83) I’m starting to get used to my adrenaline pumping this rapidly. Line 84) There’s this slight uncertainty that we’re actually falling to our doom. Line 85) But it feels peaceful for some reason. Sotsona looks around, taking in the beautiful view of the world. Line 86) How wondrous is it to experience something this enthralling? Line 87) What a beautiful site to gaze upon. Line 88) My senses feel heightened. Line 89) The cold air from the sky blows through me… Line 90) As I slowly and steadily make my way back to earth. The instructors activate their parachutes, causing Casimir and Sotsona to drift in the air. Sotsona wiggles her legs in excitement, taking in the view of how high they are. She cheers on herself and she and her instructor finally land on the ground. Casimir also lands with his instructor and they get their gear off. Sotsona lays on the ground in relief, breathing in deeply. Sotsona Line 91) Oh my gosh! Casimir lays beside her and kisses the ground. Sotsona laughs. They celebrate together. Sotsona Line 92) We actually did it! Casimir Line 93) I know right! How crazy is that? Sotsona Line 94) How did it feel for you? Casimir Line 95) Scary. But also fun at the same time. Casimir Line 96) The view was amazing! Casimir Line 97) This was definitely worth coming to. Casimir Line 98) I feel like I’ve gained a great perspective of the world. Sotsona Line 99) Same. I feel like my life has truly changed. Casimir gets up and slightly wobbles, trying to adjust to being on land again. Sotsona extends her hand out and Casimir pulls her up. She walks in a disorienting manner, trying to regain her balance. Their instructor approaches them. Instructor Line 100) We have your guys’ free falling footage as well. Casimir and Sotsona give each other smug expression. Sotsona Line 101) We definitely need to see how we reacted. Casimir and Sotsona laugh together. End of episode. © 2024 YoshAuthor's Note
