Line 22) So we’ve been starting with the basics, like music theory, which is incredibly hard for me to comprehend.

Sotsona Line 50) Whether I got kicked out or not, it’s fine since I wouldn’t want to be back home anyway. I decided to leave myself*. *Refer back to episode 17, line 48. Casimir continues to justify himself. Casimir Line 51) Still, if I had communicated with you more discreetly from the start, maybe we could’ve found a way for you to move in with me along with all your personal belongings. Sotsona caresses Casimir’s face. She speaks in a forgiving tone. Sotsona Line 52) That’s nothing for you to take the blame for. I was the one that didn’t want to open up about my personal life with you, to begin with*. *Refer back to episode 7, line 87, and episode 9, contact line 5. A thought comes to Sotsona.

Casimir Line 59) You’ve become your ideal self. Casimir Line 60) Don’t be so hard on yourself, bearing all the blame. Casimir Line 61) There are outcomes to things that you can’t control sometimes.

Sotsona Line 76) Let me double check my phone to see if I have any pictures at all. Sotsona checks her phone. Casimir lays beside her, cuddling her back as he places his head on her shoulder. Sotsona searches through the photo files that she has downloaded to secure her photos on her phone. She scrolls and scrolls until she conveniently stumbles upon the photo.

Sotsona passes the phone to Casimir, and he intently examines the photo. He smiles immensely. He speaks in an intriguing manner. Casimir Line 78) How old are you here? Sotsona Line 79) I think around 2 or 3 years old. Casimir’s eyebrows soften in adoration. Casimir Line 80) You’re so precious~ Casimir Line 81) You look so sweet~ Casimir pinches Sotsona’s facial cheek playfully. Casimir Line 82) Can you send the picture to me? Sotsona Line 83) Sure, but why do you need it? Casimir Line 84) I’m making it my lockscreen. Sotsona blushes, feeling honored. Casimir Line 85) I want to see your cute little face everytime I open my phone. Sotsona Line 86) Then send me yours. Sotsona Line 87) It will put a smile on my face everytime I open mine. They send each other their baby photos, setting the pictures as their lock screens. They place their phones side by side, comparing both of their photos. Casimir smiles wholesomely. Casimir Line 88) If you could tell your younger self about the future, what would you tell them? Sotsona smirks. Line 89) Sotsona’s inner thoughts: I’ve had my answer on deck for a while.

Casimir happily smiles. Sotsona speaks in a curious tone. Sotsona Line 92) What about you? Casimir thinks to himself. Casimir Line 93) That dreams become your reality. Casimir Line 94) There were countless times when I’d go to sleep hoping, dreaming, and wishing that I’d meet the perfect person for me. Casimir Line 95) The only thing was that in my dreams, this person had a blurry face. Casimir Line 96) Every time I lie in bed now, that face has become clear. Casimir speaks in a genuine tone.
