Layer 07: Society

Last Sunday, I went out with my family.

We went to our relatives' house in Fujisawa. All of us together.

We left at the time I usually leave for school.

On our way to the station, my mother noticed that she forgot something, so we went back to the house.

It was the first time we went to their house in Fujisawa. No, I was mistaken. We've been there several times. I just forget things sometimes.

When meeting my uncle and aunt, I greeted them with "nice to meet you" by mistake, and they laughed at me.

I don't remember what happened while I was in the train.

But I think I heard my father and mother talk quietly about the medicine all the way.

I was listening absentmindedly.

Then, I began to feel as if I was at school and I felt sick.

I endured it all the way through. When I met my uncle and aunt, I said "hello". No, I said "nice to meet you". Were my father and mother there?

Last Sunday, I went out alone.

I went to my relatives' house in Fujisawa alone.
