Lunar: I'd like to stretch my legs. Come with me, please.
Solar: Yes, Miss Tudor.
They leave the bench, taking a walk in the forest, side by side.
Lunar: It was wonderful to work at the Witch's Restaurant; it was delighted to hear adventurers boasting their adventure stories; it was a little sad to leave the restaurant, when the new semester was beginning.
Solar: What did you learn from your first work experience?
Lunar: I learned about righteousness, knowing some adventurers would risk their lives for their team mates; I learned about bravery, knowing some adventurers would fight magic beasts until the rest of breath and the last blood; I learned about peace, knowing an ordinary couple who left big city, and found a peaceful life at the restaurant.
Solar: It was a wonderful experience.
Lunar: It was an unforgettable experience. Did you have unforgettable experience?
Solar: Sure.
Lunar: Tell me, please.
Solar: It's the first day to college. I didn't book any tickets or carry any food in advance. I boarded on the train from hometown to college, heading northward with the other passengers. The passengers seated with me, were two mid-fourties, a salesman and a kindergarten teacher, and two mid-twenties, a freshman student and a senior student. I read the book Walden in my phone, listening to their talking. I was offered a breakfast by the kindergarten teacher. I never saw her again, since she got off the train.
Lunar: Some people left, they would be gone forever. But they linger on in the mind, even when they were gone.
Solar: I could remember the kindergarten teacher, because of her kindness.
Lunar: What did you do, when you got off the train?
Solar: I took the wrong bus.
Lunar: The wrong bus?
Solar: The bus that brought me to another college campus. It's my first time to college. I was not aware of there was two college campuses, until I arrived another campus.
Lunar: How was your trip at another campus?
Solar: It was wonderful. The guard, who was handsome and strong, he helped me to carry my luggage; the teacher, who came to lead me, he brought me to the canteen; the mid-aged woman, who sold packed lunches outside canteen, offered me a box of meal for free. I was guided to the school bus, which was about to take three teachers and me to another campus. Three teachers seated with me, were an aged man going to get retired and two young ladies talking about their academic papers.
Lunar: The wrong bus brought you to a right place. If you didn't take the wrong bus, you wouldn't have known those gentle and kind people at another campus.
Solar: Yeah. If I didn't take the wrong bus, I wouldn't have been given a special memory to remember. I never saw them again, when I never visited another campus again.
Lunar: You never saw them again, but you will ever remember them in your heart.
Solar: The school bus brought me to the right campus. It's where I was gonna live in for four years; it's where I was gonna set the sail of dream in the wind; it's where I was gonna fly forward the future with both wings of knowledge.
Lunar: How was your first day at college?
Solar: It was delighted. The senior student, who complained about school's conditions, she guided me to report; the dormitory manager, who was a mid-aged kind woman, she guided me to take the bedding, and showed me the dorm room; the first roommate, who was from another place, he guided me to buy the other items.
Lunar: You met some passengers on the train, but you never saw them again, since they got off the train; you met some teachers at another campus, but you never saw them again, since you got off the bus; you met some people at college, but you might never see them again, since you left the campus.
Solar: It's so true yet so cruel.
They take a walk in the forest, walking through tall Douglas firs. Lunar stops at a tall Douglas fir, looking through fir branches upon the moon.
Lunar: Look over there.
Solar stands by her side, looking through fir branches upon the moon.
Solar: The moon is nice and round tonight.
Lunar: As the moon would be round sometimes, but oftentimes it would be waning. So as people would be together sometimes, but oftentimes they would be apart. There's nothing we can do about it. What we can do is just praying best wishes for them.
Solar: Was being apart always sad?
Lunar: Always.
They move eyes away from the moon, moving forward in the forest, side by side.
Solar: Did you miss anyone, while you were being sealed here?
Lunar: Sometimes. It's been five hundred years. My family, who brought me up, had been a part of history; my friends and enemies, who grew up with me, had been a part of the earth; the people I once knew, who lived a lifetime, had been a part of memories.
Solar: They linger on in your mind, even when they were gone.
Lunar: Did you remember your first college night?
Solar: Sure. My roommates, who were gonna share four college years, arrived and gathered at the same room from different regions. The one from northwest, was the most mature one among us; the one, who played video games with his mate, was the smartest one among us; the one I first met, was the nicest one among us.
Lunar: What did you think who you were?
Solar: I was the most quiet one among us. But the other girls might just think I was cool or indifferent. Which was why I was resorted to share the rest of my college years with the other roommates, when the dorm room was changed.
Lunar: If you didn't express yourself, the others might never know about you, when you were too quiet in your own world.
Solar: It doesn't matter how the others talk about me, as long as there's somebody who knows about what kind of person I am.
Lunar: You are good.
Solar: Really?
Lunar: Really.
Solar: Thank you, Miss Tudor.
