Mr. Emori: It’s my first time here. What a nice little town!

Cindy: Yes, it’s a quiet place. First, I want to show you a historical landmark to the left here.

Mr. Emori: Is this it? It’s a very old Japanese gate.

Cindy: That’s right. This is the place where the Meiji Emperor rested while traveling.

Mr. Emori: Wow! To my surprise, you know more about Japanese history than I do.

Hiroki: Hi, it has been a while. A lot has happened.

Hiroko: Please, sit down. Do you want another reading?

Hiroki: Yes, I’m having problems again.

Hiroko: Just between you and me, I knew that already.

Hiroki: How?

Hiroko: I know. I can read between the lines. You and your girlfriend broke up, right?

Hiroki: Yes, we did! Anything else?

Hiroko: There is another woman.

Hiroki: No, you’re wrong. That’s over.

Hiroko: I don’t know about that.

Akira:　　I went into the other rooms to check. There was no other damage, but I found this strange round object.

Megan: What is it? Some kind of green crystal egg? Where did it come from?

Akira: It must have come from the aliens. It’s not part of our equipment.

Megan: Why would they leave us an egg?

Akira: I can’t say for sure yet, but I think it’s a message to us.

Will: Good morning, Riko. Did you have a nice weekend?

Riko: It was OK. I heard you bumped into my son Renji on Sunday.

Will: Yes, I did. I saw him at the shopping mall. He’s grown into a fine young man.

Riko: I’m not sure about that, but thank you.

Will: He’s very handsome. He must be popular with the girls.

Riko: Too popular. He spends too much time on his phone. He needs to get into his studies more.
