[The communicator clicks on, and there is only silence for several moments....until...]
"A City With No People"
In this city, there are no people.
The lights are on in all of the houses. But there's nobody on the streets.
[Chii is speaking mechanically, as though she is reciting or reading something.]
Are there people? I peek in a window to find out.
There are people. But they are with them.
I look in other houses. These people are with them too.
This city is just like all the rest.
Being with them is fun. More fun than being with people.
Nobody comes outside anymore. There are no people in this city.
I will leave this city and go to another one. I hope that I will meet someone. Someone just for me.
But if that special someone falls in love with me...
I will have to leave that someone.
Even so, I want to meet that special someone.
This is what I think as I leave the city with no people.
[She pauses now.]
Is that good story for Walter? It is Chii's book that Hideki got for her. Does Walter like?
[Chii has been coming to see Walter frequently. So, she brought the first of her books and read it. Comment log with Walter, but feel free to respond to the post, since it's broadcast to everyone.]
