Moonlight Dwelling

"What are you doing Osaka?"

Ayumu was staring at the floor so intently that she didn't realize that Tomo was speaking to her until she reached out for her shoulder.

"Is anyone home?"

Ayumu looked up.

"Oh sorry I was just making pictures out of the floor."

"What?"

Ayumu pointed to the floor and said, "See the shapes those spots make? I could just stare at it for hours and create shapes."

Tomo looked at Osaka thinking that this was one strange girl.

"You mean like other people do with clouds."

"Oh you could do it with clouds. I think I'll try that. Thanks for the tip."

Ayumu went back to staring at the floor and Tomo just turned around and walked away.

"Osaka is the strangest girl I've ever met."
