@¨¨¨@@@¨¨¨ 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 ¨¨@@@¨¨¨¨@
