Chapter 5 __ Mountain__
Finally, the weekend arrives.
It’s her mother’s birthday.
RiiAa plans to visit the mountain island
where she once went with her mother as a child.
……………..
[3:00 P.M. | Arrival by Airplane]
After a 10-minute wait,
she finds a taxi to her hotel:
Dazzling Hotel.
25 minutes later,
she checks in and heads to her room on the 8th floor.
After a bath and some preparation,
she leaves to visit the mountain — walking about 30 minutes.
………………….
As she walks along the familiar road,
she thinks:
“If you were here with me, Mom… how happy I would be…”
Step by step,
lost in thought,
she walks for an hour.
But the sky begins to darken.
She decides it’s safer to return to the hotel and come back tomorrow morning.
…………………….
Back at the hotel,
exhausted,
RiiAa lies down to rest.
