¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~† 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 ##@§$^†~^¨
¨¨^~†^$§@# say. he was always very creepy about #@§$^†~^¨¨
¨¨¨^~†^$§@ this, going for girls my age. @§$^†~^¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨^~†^$§ §$^†~^¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨^~†^$ 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 $^†~^¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨^~†^$§ patterns on the marble. §$^†~^¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨^~†^$§@ @§$^†~^¨¨¨
¨¨^~†^$§@# † † † † #@§$^†~^¨¨
¨^~†^$§@## ##@§$^†~^¨
¨¨^~†^$§@# 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. $^†~^¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨^~†^ in the nearest vase she had stuffed ^†~^¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~† both the shoes. †~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~ ~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^ i told her to follow, but she didn't ^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ move or speak. so instead i said to ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ stay there, and ran to get her a better ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ pair of shoes that she would actually ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ like. when i returned, having spent ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ more than i could really afford, she ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ was visibly impressed. i tried to sound ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ cool, saying something like "what do ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ you think, just because a girl has a ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ freaky dad, she doesn't have taste?" ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^ but mouse girl just laughed at me. ^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~ ~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~† she then took me by the hand and led me †~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨^~†^ out a side route to a closed-off ^†~^¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨^~†^$ 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 †~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~ said - ~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
