§@^†«.¨¨¨¨ 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 ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨.«

§@^†«.¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨.«†^@§
#§@^†«.¨¨¨ following the boulevard, two floors up ¨¨¨.«†^@§#
##§@^†«.¨¨ 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 ¨¨¨¨¨.«†^@

#§@^†«.¨¨¨ freaky dad, she doesn't have taste?" ¨¨¨.«†^@§#
##§@^†«.¨¨ but mouse girl just laughed at me. ¨¨.«†^@§##
###§@^†«.¨ ¨.«†^@§###
##§@^†«.¨¨ she then took me by the hand and led me ¨¨.«†^@§##
#§@^†«.¨¨¨ out a side route to a closed-off ¨¨¨.«†^@§#
§@^†«.¨¨¨¨ 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 ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨.
«.¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ the windows of the higher floors. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨.«
†«.¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨.«†
^†«.¨¨¨¨¨¨ she lay down in a patch of grass. i sat ¨¨¨¨¨¨.«†^
@^†«.¨¨¨¨¨ down on my knees, and then crawled ¨¨¨¨¨.«†^@
§@^†«.¨¨¨¨ closer. she laughed at me again, and ¨¨¨¨.«†^@§
