Are the springs themselves nostalgic?

I lived at one for a few years.

[rippled]

I see.

[ it's that awkward space of getting to know someone, when you aren't quite sure what topics are safe to tread or not. ]

Did you like it there?

[kumeyuri]

... It had its up and downs. But overall, it wasn't a bad experience. [a beat, because he realizes this is a gloomy atmosphere—] And I don't think you're going to meet many people who hate hot springs...

[rippled]

You raise a good point!

[ they kick at the water gently, making little ripples appear... username reference, whoa ]

I think we all have things that would make us contemplative, that others might not even think twice about.

Yes, like I am sure there are people with complicated feelings on riceballs...

[ this is such an unserious statement but they are trying to lighten the mood ]

[a scoff]

I think anyone who hates rice would be dead to me.

[rippled]

Ah, right?! I feel like if I said that even as a joke to people here they'd think I'm crazy.

[ sorry that rice isn't a staple dish to you!!!! ]
