I was in France with a few classmates… We were part of a student tour group. (IRL: I had been touring in Europe with some friends in March, though we were in Central Europe. However, some of my friends from a different school went to France.) We were on the streets of some busy shopping alleyway, and it had been announced earlier that we were to have some free time. Near us was an anime store, which TB saw and entered. On the windows of that store were some posters of scantily clad anime girls, despite their innocent-looking faces… They somewhat resembled the Amazon Quartet from Sailor Moon (lol), and the colours were in pastel hues.
“Of course he’d go in there,” someone said (it may have been me). Yet SH and I entered, too, and looked around. All of the workers there were young Asian women in maid outfits. SH and I were wandering separately… The money we had in us was in francs, despite the currency being outdated. I was paying so much attention to the merchandise that I ended up bumping into one of the workers (WTF? That sounds like something from a short story of mine). I think I stopped and looked at her, then continued browsing, but I do remember her laughing a bit and saying in English to the other two workers (who were at the cash register smack-dab in the middle of the store… The floor was square-shaped. One of the two girls there was, um…a little chubby.), “Did you see what she did?” She thought I was her friend!” (I had a similar incident was I when younger.) Later, SH and I left. At one point, she said something to me along the lines of, “I want to go somewhere else so we can hold hands.” We went off well away from the shopping district to a building of standard red bricks… It appeared to be a church, but I don’t remember a cross being there. Around us was green grass, some mountains, and the sun… No signs of man having been there other than the church….
