Where We Left Off
when the TV goes silent
A dark room with no noise, except for the "high school drama" on TV .
Finally, it ends with a soft, light song.
Suddenly, a shadow reaches out and grabs the TV remote. It presses the button to turn off the TV, and one word echoes in the room
Ami
How can it end so soon! 🤧
walks to the balcony and opens the door .
Ami
It's already evening?! How did I not realize?
Her soul whispers....
" everyones life seems so good except mine "
At that moment, someone sneaks up behind her and shouts -
BOO!
Ami
Aah...damn you scared me !.
Ariko
Good 😌, now bring me some snacks : )
Ami
Huh?! Don’t you have legs? Go get them yourself!
Ariko
Em, okay. But what if Mom finds out someone’s been watching TV all evening
Ami walks out being annoyed
Ami
Oh,God, it hurts so much to walk during periods...
Ami
I'll make sure to get back at him later.
Ariko
Ami ...Ami, hey ! You forgot the money! that's why I call her dumb
Forgotten Umbrellas, blooming hearts
A woman in the nearby store glances out the window.
The sky is a deep, heavy gray — thick with clouds, almost bruised with rain.
she goes quiet, her thoughts drifting elsewhere.
woman
The sky’s so dark again... Feels like the rain won’t stop anytime soon
She lets out a quiet sigh
Half-whispering, as if thinking aloud
woman
And still... that boy never remembers to take his umbrella
woman
I must’ve told him a hundred times... but does he ever listen? No...
woman
What am I going to do with this careless kid....
woman
I wish he had someone who’d look out for him when I’m not around.
She lets out a small sigh
woman
His friends are such sweet boys no doubt... but just as careless as him
The woman starts tidying up behind the counter — rearranging a few snack packets, setting bottles straight on the shelf.
Ami
it's getting dark so fast these days..
She walks down the street, looking for an open store. All are closed—except one unfamiliar shop.
Ami
I've never seen this store before..
Ami
Is it new, but when did it open !?
She walks in, the bell above the door jingling softly.
when DRAMA BEGINS
The woman in the shop turns to the counter to face the customer...
as she turns back Ami wonders...
Ami
...wait ...why does she look familiar!?
Ami
..ah ! I remember now 😌.. it's KIAN'S MOM
Ami
WHAT - really.... it's Mrs. KAORI ??!..... ⋋✿ ⁰ o ⁰ ✿⋌
Ami
I haven't seen her in so long....but she looks the same (✯ᴗ✯) - BEAUTIFUL!
Mrs.Kaori
HELLO! Dear, how can I help you?
Ami

Mrs.Kaori

Ami stands there, staring at the counter, her mind wandering.
Ami
Should I ask her if she recognizes me? What if it’s awkward..
Ami
No, no… it’ll be weird if I bring it up.
Ami couldn't help herself and end up asking ...
Mrs.Kaori

Ami couldn’t hold back and blurts it out.
Ami
Auntie, um... do you recognize me?
Ami

Ami can’t help but reminisce, a small pang of nostalgia hitting her...
Ami
