The Absent-Minded Daydreamer
I saw you hanging out with your classmates after school again. And again, you ignore me…

Do you even remember me...?

We used to play together every day when we were younger…

Well… it's okay if you don't. It's been a while since we last hung out with each other, anyways.

I know you’ve been pretty busy with school and everything, but…

I kinda miss you, ya know?

Huh? Hey, you looked at me! Does… Does that mean you want to talk again--

Wait, why did you just run off?

Oh yeah, it is getting pretty late… Are your parents still strict about your curfew?

Actually, how are they doing? It’s so long since I’ve been to your house…

Oh!

That’s it!

I’ll just come on over! It’ll be like those times when we had impromptu sleepover parties!

Now, is your address still…?

Oh, good! You haven’t moved! That’s a relief!

Let me just ring the doorbell.

… Hm?

Nothing happened… Is it broken?

Well, in that case, I’ll just knock!

……

Why aren’t you answering the door? I just wanted to talk with you once more…

Please answer me…

… Oh! I get it! You’re sleeping right now!

Sure, it’s a bit early for that, but you’ve always been a sleepy-head.

That’s okay, though! I’ll just come in through the front door.

I still have that key you gave me all those years ago, after all!

Ah, that’s a relief. It still works! Now, where should I--

Oh, you’re awake? Did you just wake up?

Huh? What’s wrong? You look kinda scared…

Is something behind me…?

Well… nothing’s there…

You know, if you’re seeing things, you should probably go see a doctor--

H-Hey! Why are you throwing things at me?!

Did we have a fight…? Is that why you’ve been avoiding me?

No?

Then… Why? Why are you---

… Huh?

What do you mean, ‘You’re not real’?

You’re kind of freaking me out… Are you sure you aren’t coming down with something?

… ‘I made you when I was a kid’ …?

That really doesn’t make any sense…

I don’t understand…

Hey, you’re not looking too good all of the sudden. Is everything--

Ah! Are you okay?!



See? I told you that you were coming down with something! You just passed out!

Geez, you need to pay more attention to your own body!

… Ah well, it’s okay. I still remember the things you taught me when we used to play Doctor!

Um, let’s see… you’re supposed to dissect people when they’re sick, right?

Oh well! I’ll just figure it out as I go! For now, just rest, okay?

When the operation’s over, we can go play again like we used to.

Alright?
