¨^~;%£#### in this dream i was a girl of maybe ####£%;~^¨
¨¨^~;%£### sixteen years, together with my dad in ###£%;~^¨¨
¨¨¨^~;%£## a huge bath house / spa / hotel / ##£%;~^¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨^~;%£# shopping centre. dad was constatly #£%;~^¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨^~;%£ pointing out hot girls to me. "you see £%;~^¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨^~;% that black-haired thing dissapearing %;~^¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~; behind the clothes rack? oof!" he'd ;~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨

¨¨¨¨¨^~;%£ this night he had just tried to woo a £%;~^¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨^~;%£# girl he called a "mouse" by buying her #£%;~^¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨^~;%£## shoes, but she had accepted them only ##£%;~^¨¨¨
¨¨^~;%£### to run away immediately afterward. dad ###£%;~^¨¨
¨^~;%£#### was a bit bummed but dropped it ####£%;~^¨
¨¨^~;%£### quickly. i said goodnight to him and ###£%;~^¨¨
¨¨¨^~;%£## went looking for the mouse. ##£%;~^¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨^~;%£# #£%;~^¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨^~;%£ the building was enormous and mazelike. £%;~^¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨^~;% walls, floors and pillars were set in %;~^¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~; green marble. throughout the house ran ;~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~ a main boulevard, wide as a street, ~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~; framed with clay vases dark as obsidian ;~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨^~;% and taller than a person. in each vase %;~^¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨^~;%£ was placed upright a leaf from a palm £%;~^¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨^~;%£# tree or giant fern. the boulevard was #£%;~^¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨^~;%£## dimly lit, which allowed the pools that ##£%;~^¨¨¨
¨¨^~;%£### were generously sprinkled throughout ###£%;~^¨¨
¨^~;%£#### each floor would reflect suggestive ####£%;~^¨

¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~; i found her crying behind two fern ;~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~ vases. she was beautiful, and as i ~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~; approached, she looked up and sniveled. ;~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨^~;% in the nearest vase she had stuffed %;~^¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨^~;%£ both the shoes. £%;~^¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨^~;%£# #£%;~^¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨^~;%£## i told her to follow, but she didn't ##£%;~^¨¨¨
¨¨^~;%£### move or speak. so instead i said to ###£%;~^¨¨
¨^~;%£#### stay there, and ran to get her a better ####£%;~^¨
¨¨^~;%£### pair of shoes that she would actually ###£%;~^¨¨
¨¨¨^~;%£## like. when i returned, having spent ##£%;~^¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨^~;%£# more than i could really afford, she #£%;~^¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨^~;%£ was visibly impressed. i tried to sound £%;~^¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨^~;% cool, saying something like "what do %;~^¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~; you think, just because a girl has a ;~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~ freaky dad, she doesn't have taste?" ~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~; but mouse girl just laughed at me. ;~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨

¨¨¨^~;%£## rooftop walking garden, full of juniper ##£%;~^¨¨¨
¨¨^~;%£### and thuja. it was a late evening, and ###£%;~^¨¨
¨^~;%£#### the stars were glittering. being ####£%;~^¨
¨¨^~;%£### closed, the garden had its light turned ###£%;~^¨¨
¨¨¨^~;%£## off, but we could still see our way ##£%;~^¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨^~;%£# around by the light shining down from #£%;~^¨¨¨¨
