§¨¨¨§§¨¨§¨ 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 - ¨¨¨§¨¨¨¨¨¨
