#2.11 - Business as usual

[cookiedoughmeagain]

Haven rewatch - 2.11 Business As Usual ...

Vince and Dave's argument when Duke shows them the ‘Crocker’ box makes no sense to me at all. Vince says he's going to stop Dave - but from doing what? Even if they recognise the box as Simon's and even if they know it holds the key to a larger version full of weapons, it doesn't seem likely they'd know where it is. So what exactly is Dave planning on doing that Vince is so worried about?

“You're not just my partner any more” 😭❤️ my heart

And I love the way Nathan's spent the whole episode freaking out about the possibility of Audrey getting fired, yet he still gives her this address that takes her out of town altogether, apparently not sure if she'll come back.

I can't work Vince and Dave out at the end either; why Vince is quite so twitchy about having the Troubled meeting at the Herald, or why Dave is so insistent about it.

In a lot of ways I love this episode, but it's also one of the most infuriating in making me wish there were more 1980s flashbacks.

[paintedphoenix]

Noticed MC’s back was breaking from the weight of carrying the diagnostics team, so I decided to count exactly how much of the team’s solves so far are down to them. up to 3.2

Total cases: 12

Solves by MC alone: 6

MC with help (mostly Ethan but lowkey Baz once since he did Leland’s biopsy): 5

June: 1 although mc was literally a patient

Honestly this hurts to type since I literally worship June but wtaf is up with June and Baz they literally solved none of these cases

The sheer absurdity of a second/third year resident solving all (yes I���m saying all bc they only didn’t solve one since they were slightly busy with dying) of this world famous diagnostics team’s cases shocks me. Unless I guess MC is the reincarnation of Einstein and has an IQ of 200. The entire concept of this team is literally nonsensical anyway so idk what I was expecting really

ALSO please lmk if I have my facts wrong or missed anything! Specifically contributions from June and or Baz because I really want to be wrong there lmao

Specifics of each case:

Chapter 2.1-2.2

Patient: Eric

Diagnosis: kikuchi disease + cholecystis

Solve credit: MC

Extra: MC notices he complained about stomach pain specifically after eating

-

Chapter 2.3

Patient: Lamar

Diagnosis: tertiary syphilis

Solve credit: MC

Extra: Just had a lightbulb moment when he was hallucinating

-

Chapter 2.4

Patient: Evelyn

Diagnosis: a scotoma

Solve credit: MC and Ethan (I’m guessing  Ethan only if no diamond scene)

Extra: noticed it other art show when the landscapes she was painting had missing parts compared to the reference. Put them together chronologically and realised she had a growing blind spot

-

Chapter 2.5

Patient: Gwyneth

Diagnosis: tapeworm

Solve credit: MC and Ethan (mc only if no diamond scene)

Extra: they were going through her channel and saw she made steak tartare and came to the conclusion.

-

Chapter 2.6

Patient: Leland Bloom

Diagnosis: aggressive Berger’s disease

Solve credit: MC, Ethan, and lowkey Baz

Extra: they run tests and MC and Ethan decide to do a kidney ultrasound. They do it then say he needs to go to the hospital, Baz does a biopsy then they get the answer. Any of them would have figured this out, it’s just who was around.

-

Chapter 2.10

Patient: Ed Farrugia

Diagnosis: lead poisoning

Solve credit: MC (bonus points for figuring out that it was Travis later)

Extra: MC notices Ed’s memory issues and connects the timing to when he bought his house then puts it together I guess. Then after the paint from the house comes back with a negative test for lead they figure out that Travis poisoned Ed via google search.

-

Chapter 2.11

Patients: Danny, MC and Rafael

Diagnosis: exposure to maitotoxin

Solve credit: June

Extra: MC reports Rafael’s hot cold reversal symptom and it reminds her of a journal she read. She figures out what it is. I’m going to cut mc slack here for not  getting the diagnosis for once bc they were literally dying

-

Chapter 2.13

Patient: Farley

Diagnosis: Lyme disease

Solve credit: Doesn’t really say. Ethan talks about waiting to see if any bacteria shows up in his cultures. MC goes into Farleys room with test results so I guess the bacteria one was positive. I guess I’ll give credit to Ethan and MC. Again, this wasn’t a hard to solve one since it probably just came up on their basic tests and any of them could have got it.

-

Chapter 2.14

Patient: Paula

Diagnosis: altitude sickness caused by drug interaction between ibuprofen and lithium in bipolar medication, and rash caused by poison sumac

Solve credit: MC for altitude sickness and Ethan for poison sumac

Extra: MC and Ethan notice the lithium in Paulas blood and realised that her son was dosing her with bipolar medication. Ethan suggests that she is bipolar first. Also that portrayal of bipolar was offensive bordering on actionable anyways

Im giving MC extra points bc mc first suggested altitude sickness and everyone told them to stfu but they were right. So it was mostly MC imo

-

Chapter 2.16

Patient: Marisa

Diagnosis (cause of her sepsis): intestinal cryptosporidiosis

Solve credit: MC

Extra: mc must have solved this off camera because they literally don’t show it since ch16 is the Ethan’s mom show. Anyways Ethan says that mc’s hypothesis was correct so I’m just gonna them all the credit as per usual

Mc also gets extra points for getting the guy to give a lobe of his liver. I mean they did pressure him into it and it was a bit uncomfortable but whatever they saved the patient extra points for mc

-

Chapter 2.19-2.20

Patient: Caroline

Diagnosis: selective IgA deficiency and an IgA allergy

Solve credit: MC?

Extra: again mc apparently did some magic off camera since baz says ‘we’ve’ discovered her deficiency, and Ethan says ‘we’ suspect that the recent attacks were caused by an external bacteria, but later Ethan says ‘tests confirm your theory, MC. Let’s tell Caroline the good news.’ and they don’t all her anything new other than they identified a number of bacterial strains that they can prescribe treatment for. And Baz literally says that?? Idk what’s going on really

However it was mc that figured out her allergy to immunoglobulin A and that her exposure to it was coming from Leland so all props to them absolute unit

-

Chapter 3.1

Patient: Martha

Diagnosis: hypothyroidism

Solve credit: MC

Extra: MC figures it out because Sienna shows them deceiving cake videos lol and says ‘good decoration can mask almost anything…’. They have a book 1 esque brain baby moment and rush back to the hospital knowing wtf is up

-

Chapter 3.2

Patient: Andrew

Diagnosis: i forgot lol

Solve credit: MC. minus points for ethan and harper sorry

Extra: mc figured it out after talking to aurora and elijah about camping and woods and bugs. another brain baby

2.11 : Panda named Kimmy

Our plane finally landed right when the sun was almost on the horizon. The flight attendant announced her usual end-of-flight phrases to the passengers. Saying thank you and telling the passengers to keep sitting as the plane was taxing on the runway en route to the terminal. It was a beautiful way to end the day before the night came.

As the passengers tried to get their bag from the overhead compartment, all 3 of us decided to keep sitting because it was too crowded, even to just stand up. The rest of our friends sit on the front row so we guessed that they already got their stuff.

"Hey, just sit down, we are not in hurry." Sarah held me back as i tried to stand up.

"You ain't gonna go out any faster than us bro." Naoki added.

"Oh well, you guys are right." I said after looking around, then decided to sit down again.

"Good boy." Naoki said, Sarah laughed so hard but she tried to keep it as quiet as possible around the other passengers. I just stared at her while laughing a little. I'm not going to lie, those two words sounded funny when Naoki said it with her own joking tone.

After about 10 minutes, we finally got off the plane. As usual, i walked behind them while they both talked about things that i thought should only belong to the girl's conversation. After lots of steps and going down the escalator, we finally arrived at the baggage area. Lucas stood behind the crowd while calling somebody, perhaps his girlfriend. With some eye gesture, he pointed at my suitcase that stood beside his. I thanked him by giving some nod.

Within 5 minutes, we all had gotten our suitcases and proceeded to the exit door. There was some sense of different feeling the moment i stepped out of the building.

"Finally, some fresh air." I whispered to myself.

My mom arrived just in time. Before we departed, we made an arrangement based on the direction of our houses. There were eight of us and three of them would be picked up by their respective parents. Those three were Rachel, Lucas, and Me.

As Sarah and Naoki's home were within the same direction with mine, they suggested that they would go with my mom. Of course she gave a big yes for it. After all, my mom and Sarah's mom were close friends, and Naoki had helped me a lot before i entered university.

David decided to go back home with Rachel and her dad as their houses were basically 300 meters apart. Lucas was picked up by his sister, with Philippe and Natasha went along with them. So then, we said goodbye to the rest of our friends.

i decided to sit at the back. I asked the girls to sit in the front and they literally needed to flip a coin to decide who would sit beside my mom. In the end, Naoki won and she sit in the front passenger seat, with Sarah sitting beside me. The road was a bit empty because we came home on Tuesday, the least busy day of the week in my hometown.

Along the road, Naoki, Sarah, and my mom talked about many things. I practically didn't listen to much of their conversations because i was so tired. I just decided to text Lily that i was on my way home.

"I'm on my way home, mom picked me up. Can't wait to see you in a few days." I sent the message followed by some love emoticons.

"Let me know when you're arrived, i hope we can meet tomorrow because it's been too long." She replied.

"Sure thing. Be patient, okay Lily. I love you." I replied.

"Ummm okay then, i will wait. I love you too." She replied, then i decided to put my earphone and played some music.

But then, Sarah suddenly pulled the earphone from my left ear.

"Hey why you do that?" I asked her while trying to find the tip of the left side.

"Mom, do you know that Adrian now has a girlfriend?" She gave a bit of that "watch this" look to me before saying it.

"Oh is it true? Mind to tell me more about this girl?" My mom asked everyone in the car.

I shaked my head while looking towards Naoki and Lily, telling them to shut up about it.

"So..." Sarah started the explanation.

I pretty much gave up and decided to sleep. But i could hear Sarah and Naoki explained everything to my mom. But soon, i couldn't hear a thing as i fell asleep.

I fell asleep for about 30 minutes, then when i woke up, i saw Sarah sleeping with her head on my thigh. A usual thing she did almost everytime we were on the same car. I didn't have any problem with it, after all, we were already like brother and sister since a long time ago. Naoki and my mom still talked about Lily.

The journey took about 3 hours and Naoki was the first one to got down the car. Then Sarah got down, she slept soundly until i woke her up saying that we have arrived at her house. I went down to say hi to her mom (which also i called mom). Sarah then gave my mom a hug while saying thanks, then hugged me as well (again, usual thing everytime we said goodbye).

We arrived at home about 10 minutes later. After about an hour of taking a bath, having dinner, talking with my mom and my dad, and reading bed time story for my youngest sister, i got into my bedroom to sleep. Before i closed my eyes, i saw a figure in the darkness of my room.

"Welcome home." The observer said

"Thanks, talk to you tomorrow, okay, i'm so tired." I answered.

"Don't worry, i just miss this place." He said, but i didn't have enough energy to give any reply.

Meanwhile, the observer didn't show up until the day when i supposed to go out with Lily

--

A few days later, i went for a date with Lily. It wasn't easy to get the permission to go out from my mom. Especially this was the first time she knew that i was in a relationship. But i managed to get it this time. So i went out, with Lily. I also brought a surprise gift for her. Kind of like a late birthday present because we were on different places when she turned 18.

The gift was a stuffed animal, more precisely, it was a Panda. Not a big one but not too small either. I managed to make the box for the gift and also a hand-written letter for her. That was the first time i ever wrote a letter for someone. The panda itself i got when i was still outside of town, so i brought it inside my suitcase so nobody would notice.

I left my home at 9.25am, then went straight to pick her from her house. The observer decided to show up, and as usual accompanied me along the way.

"So you are going for a date?" He asked me.

"Well, sort of." I answered as i overtook a lady with a brand new Honda HRV.

"Don't be nervous, you got this!" He added.

"Thanks, i appreciate it." I answered. But no answer came.

I arrived at her house at 9.46am. While waiting for her, i introduced myself to her mom and talked for a bit. Then we left her house at 10am with my old Corolla. I was kind of nervous, but Lily was quick to notice it and opened up a conversation.

"How did you feel?" She asked me.

"Well I feel different." I answered awkwardly.

"why?" She asked while tilting her head.

"Ummm maybe because I have never done this before." I said, trying to find the right words

"Don't worry, you'll get used to this. Trust me." She answered. A smile appeared on her face.

We went to a nearby park to have a long walk. She once said that she wanted to talk, hold my hands, all while walking around the park on a sunny day. Meanwhile that day, the sky was a bit cloudy so it was actually a good one because we could spend more time outside without being afraid of the heat.

Lily talked about many things. Her college life, her friends, what she ate yesterday, and many other things. I was being a good listener while offering my thoughts once in a while. The perfect combination, don't you think?

Then we spent our time at my favourite local restaurant to have our lunch. I ordered a grilled chicken with chocolate milkshake. Lily ordered a fried chicken with ice tea. We continued to talk a lot while enjoying our meals.

After that, Lily asked me to take the longer route to her home. So i did. The usual route would take about 30-35 minutes. The longer one would take about an hour or even an hour and half depending on the traffic.

Along the road, we talked about what we will do tonight, tomorrow, and other stuff about when we will meet again. No, actually it was me who started to ask when we will meet again.

"So, when we will meet again?" I asked her. We were a few blocks away from her house.

"Soon? Ya? But i can't decide it yet." She answered.

"Yes, soon. Okay? I already miss you, to be honest." I told her.

"But i'm still here." She asked with some curious look on her face.

"But we will be apart again in a few minutes." I answered.

"Wanna stay in my house?" She asked with a wink.

"If only i could, but i can, someday, right?" I answered.

"You have to, okay?" She demanded another answer.

"Of course, my queen." I answered. Then we both laughed.

Before she went down, i gave her the gift that i've prepared before. She looked so curious and said that she would open it that night and i had to watch it. So then, i went home and the night came. Lily called me around 9pm, then quickly changed into video call.

She showed me the unopened box. Then she tried to open the wrap. We talked a lot while she tried to open it. Then when she found out what's inside it. She quickly pulled it out and gave it a hug. I was so happy when she did it. Then she read the letter (not with loud voice, of course).

"Thank you so much Adrian. I really love these." She said. She sounded genuinely happy.

"Special gift for a special person. But i'm sorry i was too late." I apologized to her.

"No no that's totally fine. These, these were more than enough." She said.

"That Panda would serve as me whenever we get separated again. So he would protect you, just like me." I said to her.

"Then it needs a name, right?" She asked me while holding the panda.

"Of course. You are the one who'll give it." I told her.

"Kimmy sounds good, right? Yes it is. That's his name." She answered.

"Yes i agree. So from now, Kimmy will be your protector. Later, i will replace him. Sounds good?" I asked her.

"it does, i really like it Adrian!" She answered. A genuine, happy smile appeared on her face.

"I'm glad you like it. Take care of her, Kimmy." I said to her, and to Kimmy, indirectly.

I don’t think I’d ever registered this before, but I love this little shot of Haven’s lighthouse in scaffolding. Good to see it getting looked after for once, rather than blown to smithereens again XD

DAMON AND ELENA, SEASON 2 INDEX

below the cut you will find a nearly exhaustive collection of Damon and Elena’s interactions, or conversations relating to their relationship, in season two.  it mostly exists for my own meta-writing purposes, because I have a terrible memory, but I would love it if people reblogged and gave their rankings!  top 10 moments, favorite angst moment, favorite romantic moment, favorite funny moment, etc. write meta! tag your friends! revive the fandom!

unless stated otherwise, you may assume the two people conversing are Damon and Elena.  moments are included or not included only on the basis of my personal bias, and/or whether I forgot them.

From 2.01, The Return

Really? Before, on the porch? We were talking, all cathartic, feelings exposed?Come on, we kissed, Elena. / Okay, I don’t have time for this, Damon. / Hey, if you want to forget it happened, fine, but I can’t.

We should be able to talk about this, Damon, we’re close enough now. I really want to know how you’re doing. / I kissed you, I thought you kissed me back, doppelganger hijinks ensued. How do you think I’m doing. / I think that you’re hurt / Mmm, no, I don’t get hurt. / No, you don’t admit you get hurt, you get angry, you cover it up, and then you do something stupid. / You’re scared, you think Katherine’s going to send me off the deep end, don’t you? I don’t need her for that. You know what, why is it such a surprise that I would kiss you? / That’s not a surprise. I’m surprised that you thought I’d kiss you back. / Now I’m hurt.

You’re surprised I thought you’d kiss me back? You can’t imagine that I’d believe that you want to? You’re the liar, Elena. There’s something going on between the two of us and you know it, and you’re lying to me, and you’re lying to Stefan, and most of all you’re lying to yourself. I can prove it. / No, Damon, don’t. What’s wrong with you? / Lie about this. / Stop it, you’re better than this, come on. / That’s where you’re wrong. / No, Damon, I care about you. listen to me, I care about you I do, but I love Stefan, it’s always going to be Stefan.

(Stefan) She got under his skin, she undid everything good about him. / (Elena) There’s nothing good about him, Stefan, not anymore.  He’s decided what he wants.  He doesn’t wanna feel, he wants to be hated, it’s just easier that way.  He got his wish.  I hate him, Stefan.

From 2.02, Brave New World

I need you to come with me. / Whatever it is, I’m not interested. / Yeah, I need you to come with me right now, Elena.

Damon, she’s my friend.

From 2.03, Bad Moon Rising

I’ll take really good care of her. (spiteful stelena makeout)

(takes an arrow for her)

You touch her and I swear I’ll never speak to you again. / What makes you think that has any power over me, because I took an arrow in the back for you?  You overestimate your influence.

Come on, you can’t hate me forever....You have every right to hate me, I understand, but you hated me before and we became friends?  It would suck if that was gone forever.  So...is it?  Have I lost you forever?

Road trips work well for us. / This doesn’t mean that things are back to the way they used to be, Damon. / Oh, come on, you know I chipped a little bit off your wall of hatred. / I need to know the truth, when you broke Jeremy’s neck, did you know he was wearing his ring? / No. No, I didn’t. Katherine really pissed me off, and I snapped, and I got lucky with the ring. I don’t know what I would’ve done if he wasn’t wearing it. Elena, I’m sorry. / Thank you for being honest with me. And the answer to your question about our friendship? Is yes. You have lost me forever. / But you knew that already, didn’t you? You used me today. I thought friends don’t manipulate friends. You and Katherine have a lot more in common than just your looks.

From 2.04, Memory Lane

(Stefan hallucination, Elena with Damon in 1864 and then in the grille playing pool.)  It’s your turn / Be prepared to lose

I made myself clear, Damon, I want nothing to do with you.

(Damon) I don’t do jealous, not with you, not anymore. / (Katherine) Don’t try to be the hero, Damon, you’ll end up dead. / Been there, done that, at least this time it’ll be worth it.

From 2.05, Kill or Be Killed

(Damon) So what’s up with this faux drama in your relationship? / (Stefan) What are you talking about? / Oh come on, Stefan.  You and Elena don’t fight.  Especially not over me.

What you did for Caroline’s mom...that's the Damon who was my friend. / Hey.  Stefan didn’t drink the people blood, if you were curious.  But he needs to.  And you know that.

From 2.06, Plan B

I wasn’t thinking, I didn’t think / It doesn’t matter, Damon. She won, Katherine won.

From 2.07, Masquerade

Everything you’re doing is hurting Elena.

She’s the doppelganger, she needs to be protected / Then I’ll protect her.

From 2.08, Rose

(staircase, over Stefan’s shoulder moment) thank you / you’re welcome

Cute PJs. / I’m tired, Damon. / I brought you this. / I thought that was gone. Thank you...please give it back. / I just have to say something. / Why do you have to say it with my necklace? / Because what I’m about to say is probably the most selfish thing I’ve ever said in my life. / Damon, don’t go there. / I just have to say it once, you just need to hear it. I love you, Elena, and it’s because I love you that I can’t be selfish with you, why you can’t know this. I don’t deserve you.  But my brother does. (forehead kiss) God, I wish you didn’t have to forget this. But you do.

From 2.09, Katerina

(Rose) Must be difficult being in love with your brother’s girlfriend. / (Damon) I’m not in love with anyone.

(Caroline) She’s not in any danger, I would not let her put herself in danger. / (Stefan) Any danger where, where is she? ...she’s with Damon, isn’t she. / Ew!  No!

(Rose) You’re right to fight it...the way you feel about her. / (Damon) And why is that? / Because if we’re going to survive, we need to not care about anyone. / Caring gets you dead, huh? / It might just be time to turn the switch off on your emotions. / I will if you will.

From 2.10, The Sacrifice

(Elena) Everyone that I care about, including the two of you.

Come on, we’re leaving. / No. / I said, we’re leaving. / I’m not going with you. / You don’t get to make decisions anymore. / When have I ever made a decision? You and Stefan do that for me. Now, this, this is my decision. / Who’s going to save your life while you’re off making decisions? / You’re not listening to me, Damon, I don’t want to be saved, not if it means Klaus is going to kill every single person that I love. / Get your ass out the door before I throw you over my shoulder and carry you out myself. / No. (she tries to punch him, he catches her hand) / Don’t ever do that again.

What you did today was incredibly stupid. / Actually, the only thing stupid was that I got caught. I don’t question why you and Stefan and everyone else try so hard to save me, you shouldn’t question why I would try to save all of you. Damon, good night, okay?

Stefan’s in there, Damon, how could you let this happen? / What are you talking about? I was too busy saving you from your crazy kamikaze mission. / You didn’t even have to go after the moonstone in the first place. / It was the right call, Elena. / Right call?? How was any of this the right call?  Damon, let go of me, let go of me.  Let go of me!  Please / Are you done? 

(Stefan) Keep Elena away from here. / (Damon) Yeah, cause that’ll be easy. / Promise me, no matter what happens, you’ll protect her. / Promise. / (Katherine) That right there was the biggest mistake you’ve ever made.

From 2.11, By the Light of the Moon

Come on, pouty, at least give me two points for ingenuity. / Do you think this is funny? / Yes, Elena, I find hilarity in the lengths I repeatedly have to go to to save your life. / What did Stefan say about this? / We had a good laugh. / And what did he say about Elijah still being alive? / Yeah, that...didn’t tell him. / Why not? / Well, A he can’t do anything about it, and B...what I just said. Where’s Bonnie? / (Jeremy) I thought she was with you? / No, she’s on moonstone duty and I’m on Elena patrol. / (Jeremy) Who’s on Tyler Lockwood and the full moon? / Vampire Barbie asked me if she could handle it, and I figured worst case scenario he’ll bite her and I’m rid of two of my problems. / Wait, tonight’s the full moon? / Yep, and you were too consumed by your suicidal tendencies to notice....Change of plans, you babysit. Oh hey, you should get out, enjoy the sun – oh wait, you can’t.

From 2.12, The Descent

(Rose) You’ve never been in Damon’s room before, have you? Not what you expected.  / (Elena) It’s just a room with a bed...maybe I expected there to be silk sheets. / You’re lucky, you know.  No one’s ever loved me the way you’re loved.

You were supposed to leave. / I did. But then I came back to make sure you were okay. / I appreciate the gesture. I’m just glad it’s over. / You know I don’t believe that. / Go home, Elena. Get some rest.  It’s a whole new day tomorrow. / Damon, I’m your friend - / I’m well aware of that. / And a friend usually knows when their friend is hurting. / What do you want to hear? That I cared about Rose, that I’m upset? Well I didn’t and I’m not. / There you go, pretending to turn it off, pretending not to feel. Damon, you’re so close, don’t give up! / I feel, Elena, okay, and it sucks. What sucks even more is it was supposed to be me. / You feel guilty. / That would be human of me, wouldn’t it, Elena? And I’m not human. And you’re one to talk about giving up, all you’ve done is give up.  Go home, there’s been enough doom, gloom, and personal growth for one night. / Okay, I will. (hug)

From 2.13, Daddy Issues

He just blew in, announced to Jenna that he’s my dad, and then took off. / That’s public knowledge now? / Apparently. / You okay? / Yeah. Jenna’s head is spinning, but I’m okay. / Did he say what he was doing here? / No. Stefan thinks he’s telling the truth about wanting to help me. / Do you believe him? / No, I don’t believe him for a second. /  I don’t either. / What’re we going to do? / Kill him. / Damon. / I’m joking...well, I’m a little serious. / Damon! / Relax, Elena, I’m not going to hurt him.  I’m a good guy now, remember. / What does that mean? / I’m going to have a civil conversation with your father. / Wait, I’m coming with you.

We just need answers, please don’t do anything stupid. / Yeah, but stupid’s so much more fun. / Damon, I mean it.  All I ask is that you try to keep it together…be the better man. / Okay then.

You totally blew her off. / Trust me, it’s in the best interests of women everywhere.

Damon, please. Okay, too many people are dead. / You need to stop doing that. / Doing what? / Assuming that I’ll play the good guy because it’s you who’s asking. / Be the better man, Damon.

(Damon) I’m in love with a woman I can never have. / (Andi) Let me guess, she’s in love with another man. / Yeah, but that’s not the point.  The point is I’m in love with her and it’s driving me crazy, I’m not in control. / What, you don’t trust yourself around her? / I don’t trust myself around anyone, Andi....It’s in my nature, it’s who I am.  But then I have to stay together to protect her, and she wants me to be the better man, which means I can’t be who I am. / Maybe this is who you are now, love does that, Damon. It changes us.

From 2.15, The Dinner Party

You guys want me to fight, I’ll fight, but if we’re going to do this you can’t keep things from me.  From now on, we’re doing things my way. / Seems fair.

From 2.16, The House Guest

(Damon recognizes Katherine pretending to be Elena.)

How did you guys convince [Katherine] to [pretend to be Elena]? / We didn’t.  It was actually her idea. / Oh, that’s not good. / No, no that’s not good at all.

From 2.17, Know Thy Enemy

(Damon) Right now you should just stay here.  It’s safer for us to keep an eye on you. / (Stefan) What, in the house that any vampire can enter? No, her house is safer. / (Damon) Well then we’ll stay there. / (Elena) So, is that the plan? Neither of you let me out of your sight again? (Damon) Let me know when you come up with a better one.

(Elena) You’re giving me your house? / (Stefan) Isobel had the right idea with the safehouse, this way you can control who gets invited and who doesn’t. / (Damon) But I’ll be super pissed if you lock me out.

From 2.18, The Last Dance

What are we, twelve? / One of us is.  If I let you in, do you promise to obey the owner of this house? / No. / Seriously, Damon!  My way, you promised.  I call the shots.  No lies, no secret agendas.  Remember? / Yes, Elena.  Sure. / Then please, come in.

How you doing? / Freaking out a bit, you? / Cool as a cucumber. Come on, remember the last decade dance? The vampires were all ahhh and you were all ahh! / Right, and you won. / Yes, we did. / You’re good at this! / I’ve got moves you’ve never seen.

Stefan, get Elena out of here, I’ll deal with the body. / What do you mean, deal with it? / Sheriff can’t know about this. Last thing we need’s another mysterious death. / This is Bonnie! / Get her home now, so I can clean this up. / Oh my god, what about Jeremy? / I’ll find him.

What did you do with her? / Will you please calm her down. / Don’t talk like I’m not standing right in front of you. / Please, calm down. / You knew, didn’t you? You knew that if she harnessed all that power, that she would die, didn’t you? / Yes. yes, I knew. (smack) You need to listen to me and prepare for what I’m about to say....he had to believe it.

(Stefan)You could’ve told me. / (Damon) How do I know when you’re gonna go blabbing things to your girlfriend? / Don’t you understand what you put her through. / See, that’s why I didn’t tell you, because you’d never have been able to do it.  Don’t get me wrong, Stefan, I don’t mind being the bad guy.  I’ll make all the life and death decisions, while you’re busy worrying about collateral damage.  I’ll even let her hate me for it.  But at the end of the day, I’ll be the one to keep her alive.

Look, Klaus had to think she was dead.  Your reaction had to be real. / I understand why you did what you did.  Klaus was fooled, and Bonnie’s alive. / Here’s to duplicity. / But let’s get one thing straight, Damon.  Bonnie will not die for me, I will not let that happen. / We need to kill Klaus, Elena. Real Klaus, who will probably be coming to pay you a visit soon now that he knows that Bonnie’s dead. She’s the only one who can do it. / We’ll find another way. / I hope so. / Look, I shouldn’t have hit you. / Apology accepted. Let me be clear about something: if it comes down to you and the witch again, I will gladly let Bonnie die. I will always choose you. / Good night, Damon. / Good night.

From 2.19, Klaus

Where do you think you’re going? / Back to Elijah. / No. / Get out of my way, Damon. / If you so much as try to take a step out of this house... / (Andi) Damon, easy. / Stay out of this, Andi. / (Stefan) Let her go. / Are you kidding me, we just got her back. / (Stefan) I said, let her go. / That’s twice today you’ve stood in my way, I wouldn’t try a third.

From 2.20, The Last Day

What if it doesn’t work, Elena? / Then I guess I’ll just be dead.

(Elena) Where is Damon? / (Jenna) I saw him go upstairs. / (Elena) You disappeared. / (Damon) I didn’t want to hear anymore. / I need you to understand why I’m doing this. / Why, it clearly doesn’t matter what I think. / I’ll be fine, Damon.  I’ll drink the elixir, Bonnie will kill Klaus, and then all this will finally be over. / If it works. / It will work. / You think it will work. You want it to work. Why am I the only one convinced it won’t? There has to be another way. / There isn’t. / Then you’re going to die, Elena. / And then I’ll come back to life. / That is not a risk I’m willing to take. / But I am. It’s my life, Damon. My choice. / I can’t lose you. / You won’t. / There is another way. / What are you...Damon, no. Damon, no! 

(Damon) You’re so bent on dying, at least this way I know you’ll come back. / (Stefan) As a vampire...she’ll come back a vampire. / It’s better than nothing else. / (Stefan) How could you of all people take that choice away from her? / Go ahead, wish me an eternity of misery. Believe me, you’ll get over it. 

(Stefan) It would be selfish for me to ask you. / (Elena) Didn’t stop Damon. / He shouldn’t have done what he did. But he did it because he loves you. / But he did this to me, Stefan, which means, he doesn’t really know what love is.  And to be honest, I’m not sure if I do.

From 2.21, The Sun Also Rises

(bridal carry)

Come back as a vampire, I’ll stake you myself, so don’t. Cause I can’t stand the idea of you hating me forever....Elena. / Damon? / How do you feel? / I feel fine.

(John’s letter) Whether you are now reading this as a human or a vampire, I love you all the same as I’ve always loved you and always will.

(Stefan) Damon, she needs us right now, all of us. / (Damon) And then what’s the plan, Stefan.  The curse is broken.  How does one go about killing an all-powerful wolf-vamp and his two-faced older brother? / I have no idea. / Then we need to get an idea, and fast. / I’m not going to let Elena lose anyone else. / I wouldn’t make any promises, brother. / What’s that supposed to mean? / Tyler Lockwood bit me. It’s actually more of a nip, really, but there it is. / We’ll find something. A cure. / There’s no cure, Stefan. / We kept Elena human, right? We found a way when there was no way. Hey. I will do this. / You want to do something for me, keep this from Elena. Last thing she needs is another grave to mourn.

From 2.22, As I Lay Dying

I want to apologize. / Damon. / Please, Elena, feeling you my blood, I was wrong. / Yes, you were. / And I know I don’t deserve your forgiveness, but I need it. / And I need some time, maybe a lot of time / Sure, of course, take all the time you need.

(Elena) You’re breaking the rules, you know.  Movie night’s supposed to be a distraction, tomorrow we can return to our regularly scheduled drama. / (Stefan) I know, I wish this could wait. But it can’t. Listen, um, the other night when Damon was helping Tyler, something happened.  Tyler was starting to transform and...Damon was bitten. / What? Is it, is he...gonna? / Yeah? / Oh my god.  He came to the house this morning and tried to apologize, I practically slammed the door in his face. / He told me not to tell you, but I figured if you wanted to talk to him...I wouldn’t wait. / Stefan... / It’s not over. There might be a cure, but I have to find Klaus to get it. / No, he’s going to kill you. / No, he had the chance to kill me, but he didn’t.  Whatever Damon’s done, whatever led him here, I’m the one that made him become a vampire in the first place.  So if there’s a chance for a cure, I owe it to him to find it.  Go talk to him.  Tell him that there’s still hope.

Elena. / It’s okay, I’m here. / Elena, get out of here, I could hurt you. / No, you won’t.  I’m not leaving you. I’m here till the very end. / Get out of here. / Shhh it’s okay. / It’s not okay.  All those years I blamed Stefan, no one forced me to love her.  It was my own choice. I made the wrong choice. Tell Stefan I’m sorry. / I will.

This is even more pitiful than I thought. / There’s still hope. / I’ve made a lot of choices that have gotten me here.  I deserve this, I deserve to die. / No, you don’t. / I do, Elena, it’s okay, because if I had chosen differently, I wouldn’t have met you. I’m so sorry. I’ve done so many things to hurt you. / It’s okay, I forgive you. / I know you love Stefan, and it will always be Stefan. But I love you. You should know that. / I do. / You should have met me in 1864. You would have liked me. / I like you now, just the way you are. (kiss) / Thank you. / You’re welcome.

Is anyone else scared for this new episode? Like it's only Saturday afternoon in the UK, but my stomach is queasy with anticipation and dread that it won't hold as much weight as we want it to hold with that confrontation. Especially now that we will be 3 ep short.

Yeah, I’m a little nervous, anon! Especially since 3.08 will mark the halfway point of the originally intended season, which is actually usually when the show sets the board for the second half of the season and establishes the relative status quo. 

In s1, 1.05 was where Beth and Turner met for the first time, and when the show established Beth and Rio hitting their stride, both professionally and personally.

In s2, 2.06/2.07 was when Beth and Rio became partners, Noah was introduced, and the conflict between Ruby and Beth reached a head. 

We know now that 3.08 is going to be establishing Stan’s business (it’s the ep Megan thee Stallion cameos!), introducing a new FBI agent again (hey, Lauren Lapkus! Kind of love that the FBI has been a mid-season turning point across all three seasons now), and that Beth and Rio are likely going to try and renegotiate what they are again from the sneak peeks. It also seems like we might get a couple of faces from the past from the synopsis, so I think it’s going to be a jam-packed episode!

I’m concerned for the end of the season too, but I am hopeful there’ll be a natural endpoint for it too that they can fall back on? So many people thought 2.10 was the s2 finale after all, and it does actually function well as one, even if it means we never would’ve gotten all the greatness of 2.11. I guess we’re just going to have to wait and see. :-)

LVS 3Q earnings down 7pct, stays positive on Macau outlook

Third-quarter earnings attributable to investors of United States-based gambling establishment driver Las vega Sands Corp was down 6.7 percent year on year. Such net income for the three months to September 30 was US$ 533 million, contrasted to US$ 571 million in the prior-year quarter.

Group-wide internet earnings stood at US$ 3.25 billion, down 3.6 percent from a year earlier, stated Las vega Sands in a news release on Wednesday. The firm is parent to Macau casino operator Sands China Ltd, and likewise to Marina Bay Sands Pte Ltd, the driver of the Marina Bay Sands casino site hotel in Singapore. It additionally runs procedures in Las vega, Nevada, in the USA.

In the third quarter, Sands China's internet income was virtually level year-on-year, down 1.9 percent, at US$ 2.11 billion, compared to US$ 2.15 billion in the same quarter of 2018. Earnings through continued to be flat at US$ 454 million, said the parent company. The total Macau market has up until now this year seen a mild year-on-year contraction in gambling enterprise gross video gaming earnings (GGR), driven by a significant dip in VIP rolling quantity and VIP GGR. But Macau-market mass GGR including slots-- which Las Vegas Sands calls its toughness-- has actually had significant development.

At Marina Bay Sands, web profits increased 3.5 percent year-on-year, to US$ 793 million, contrasted to US$ 766 million a year previously. Las Vegas Sands' chairman and also chief executive Sheldon Adelson said in remarks coming with the press launch that the group had provided "solid financial outcomes" in the reporting quarter.

Mr Adelson said the group continued to be "enthusiastic" regarding its development possibilities in Asia. Mr Adelson noted in his remarks, referring to the Macau market: "Next year, we will present around 2 million square feet [185,806 sq metres] of elegant suite lodgings on the Cotai Strip with the opening of the Grand Suites at Four Seasons Macao and also The Londoner Tower Suites. Extra tourism and also enjoyment amenities of The Londoner Macao will debut throughout 2020 and also 2021."

The latter was a referral to a conversion of Sands Cotai Central to a property themed on architecture from the UK's capital city. The team paid a recurring returns of US$ 0.77 per usual share, an increase of 2.7 percent on the US$ 0.75 per share paid in the third quarter a year earlier. The board also revealed a US$ 0.08 Increase in the business's persisting ordinary shares reward for the 2020 fiscal year.

Asia efficiency

In the third quarter, changed residential property incomes before passion, tax, devaluation and amortisation (EBITDA) for Macau procedures was level at US$ 755 million, compared to US$ 754 million in the prior-year duration. At Marina Bay Sands, such modified quarterly residential or commercial property EBITDA was up 3.8 percent, at US$ 435 million, compared to US$ 419 million the year before. In Macau, rolling chip quantity at the Venetian Macao (visualized) was down 20.6 percent year-on-year in the third quarter. Such roll was US$ 5.89 billion, contrasted to simply under US$ 7.43 billion a year previously. A Thursday note from JP Morgan Securities (Asia-Pacific) Ltd defined Sands China's Macau-wide quarterly VIP efficiency as "depressing". Analysts DS Kim, Jeremy An and Derek Choi created: "Its VIP GGR dropped 22 percent quarter-on-quarter as well as 36 percent year-on-year, with huge decreases in rolling quantities (-11 percent quarter-on-quarter, -30 percent year-on-year).".

However the organization included: "The bright side is that this sector doesn't really relocate the needle for Sands [China] anyhow, as VIP (including direct) make up only 7 to 8 percent of its EBITDA." Andrew Lee as well as Lois Zhou of Jeffries Group LLC noted in a Wednesday memorandum that there had been "continuous VIP weak point with rebound unpredictability, and also Sands Cotai Central remodellings influencing incomes". However the Jeffries experts added there had been a "positive" in the premium mass sector, which had actually "recouped from second-quarter 2019 weak point with monitoring changing a lot more tables from base mass".

Track 01 – Excuse Me for Intruding

[0.04]

Excuse me for intruding. Heave-ho.

Oooi. Oi! Where did you head off to? My shadow. Where are you hiding? Uh… Could it be here?

[0.33]

Eh? I touched something! Eh? U-uwah! Sh-shhh! Don’t scream! What will you do if someone comes?

Calm down. I’m not a burglar. I’m just trying to search for something. I won’t do anything to you, Miss. I’ll leave right after I find my shadow. Please, won’t you let me stay for a bit?

[1.05]

Ah, thank goodness.

Me? I’m Peter. I kind of got my shadow knocked out of me.

[1.22]

You don’t know what a shadow is? Whenever light shines on me, a dark figure comes out on the walls or ground. Why did you ask if you already knew that? Geez, I don’t have time for this so shut up a little.

Hmm, not here either. Where did it go?

[1.53]

Uh? This is where I flew in. Yep, I flew. Eh? I can fly! What about it? If you wish hard enough, anything can come true. Miss, if you wish hard enough, you’ll definitely be able to fly.

I’m serious. If you think I’m lying, then try it out yourself.

Uh, is it in here? Ah, it’s here! What am I doing? Catching my shadow. Ah, come here! Don’t run away! Wait! Be obedient, and go back into my body!

[2.51]

I finally caught it. This? It’s my shadow. I explained it to you earlier, remember? Whenever light comes out…

Huh? It ran away so I, of course, caught it. More importantly, putting it back on will be a problem.

[3.16]

Hm, Miss, do you have anything I can use to reattach it? I just need to reattach it so anything will do. Hm…

What’s in this box? Ouch! A sewing kit? Then that means you can use the needle and thread to reattach my shadow. A long time ago, I saw someone do the same with a button. Surely my shadow can be fixed the same way.

[3.49]

It’s possible! Here, if you please. Aha, I’m so glad. It won’t disappear anymore.

Hm? Yes, that’s right. If I don’t have my shadow, it’ll disappear. There’s never been a time where I’ve existed without my shadow. In this world, shadows also have humans, right? That’s the same as me.

Uh? What is it? This world is this world. It’s the world you live in. I’m not a human from this world. Ah, but it’s not like I don’t exist. You can see me after all, Miss.

[4.39]

I exist because people believe in me. That’s why I’m relieved I can exist here together with you guys. Well, I guess you can say I’m fairy-like. Ah, but I’m still pretty different from fairies. I think I’m more of an ambiguous being. I’m neither adult nor child.

Are you already done? Eh, thank you!

[5.12]

Say, Miss, are you an adult? Or a child? You appear to be an adult, but when I think about it, you’re kind of child-like.

Wa-wait a sec! You didn’t have to hit me with a pillow, right? I didn’t say anything rude at all. I can see your behavior is like that of an adult, but the inside of your mind is like a child’s, right? I was just making a harmless guess.

[5.47]

Writer? Miss, do you want to become a writer? Eh, you want to write children’s books. Hm, um…

A princess whose kisses contain magical powers. A fairy became better after receiving a kiss. So… What’s a kiss? Can a kiss make a fairy feel better? Ehhh, I don’t really understand. Can you give me one? Here!

What am I doing? I want a kiss. C’mon, hurry and give me one.

[6.38]

Why are you making that confused face?

Thank you! Eh, so this is a kiss. It feels kind of fluffy.

It was a pincushion? Uh, well, whatever. Shoot, this won’t do! I have to get going! Yeah, I’m going home. I’ll see you later.

[7.16]

Oh, that’s right. Thanks for the kiss!

Track 02 – The Differences Between Men and Women

[0.08]

Oi, heave-ho. Oops! That surprised me. Ahaha, sorry, sorry. Today, I have some business with you, Miss. I want to talk for a bit.

Miss, you know a lot of things about your kind, right? I want to know what kids like. I want you to tell me how lost children find their way home. I don’t know much about it.

[0.45]

Really?! Thank goodness! Ehehe, anything’s fine. I don’t mind what kind of story it is. I just want a good story.

Ohh, I’ve never heard of this story. Alright, go ahead and tell me. Yeah, yeah.

[1.23]

And they all lived happily ever after, huh? So hey, there are some things you read that I don’t understand. Why did the man and woman stay together to the very end? More importantly, what are the differences between men and women?

Ah, and also kisses. All that stuff you told me about kisses was a lie wasn’t it? The princess will wake up after being kissed by a prince. No matter how I think about it, eyes can’t open due to that. It made a fairy feel better, too.

[2.05]

Miss, are you lying to me? Ahhh, this won’t do. This is why I dislike adults. They lie so much.

I think that’s a seriously bad habit.

[2.25]

What about me? If you seriously do feel bad, show me what a kiss really is this time. Why did your face suddenly go red? I’m just saying, you look red.

Oh? You can’t kiss me if my eyes aren’t closed? I guess it can’t be helped. Here, my eyes are closed.

Huh?! M-my lips… What did you do to me just now?! This is a kiss. It was just a short moment, but it felt surprisingly good.

[3.21]

H-hey! Do it one more time! It’s fine isn’t it? It’s no big deal. If you won’t do it, I will.

Aha, it really does feel amazingly good. Hey, one more time. Why can’t I? It should be fine.

[3.54]

I know what a kiss is now, but I still don’t understand why the princess woke up. So that’s why, one more time.

The power of love? What’s that? Then show me what a kiss of love is. Why isn’t it possible?

[4.27]

Then what is love?

Miss, even though you’re an adult, you can’t answer that question? Don’t adults know everything? Why is it that adults don’t know everything?

[4.47]

Hmmm, I still don’t understand. Adult stuff and kid stuff, male stuff and female stuff… There’s so many difficult things.

Ah, but since men and women are different, you can tell me and you apart, right? I mean, you are a girl, right? I’m a man, and our appearances are different. Surely, our bodies have even more differences, right?

[5.23]

Look, I don’t have two of these squishy bulges. What am I doing? Aren’t I exploring your body? Since adults can’t explain things very well, I want you be to obedient and let me explore. O-ohh, you’re wearing clothes so I can’t tell what’s underneath.

Don’t struggle. I’m undressing you, aren’t I? Shouldn’t it be fine for me to get a small glimpse?

Ahh, how beautiful. Yours is totally different from my body. Your skin is smooth and pale in color. This spot is extremely soft. You also smell kind of good.

[6.32]

Is it alright if I lick you? You feel really soft, and you look sweet.

Amazing. So this is what a female body is like. While I was licking and sucking, a sweet voice came out of you, Miss. Hm? No way. I’m not going to stop. More…

Ah! Ahh, I’m sorry. I couldn’t stop myself. So, um, thank you. You taught me a lot of things today.

[7.30]

Ah, can I borrow a few books? I want to study up on various things. The book about a prince who cast a magical spell, and the book of girls’ secrets and confessions.

Thank you! I’ll be back again.

Track 03 – Children Aren’t Allowed to Look

[0.09]

Hey~ I guess you’re asleep.

Ah! I-I’m sorry. I thought I could wake you up by calling out to you, but you wouldn’t wake up. I-it’s not like I was just waiting here so I can look at you. I came in only a few moments earlier.

[0.45]

You’re making an “I don’t believe you” face. I’m being serious! Why are you making a shocked face?

Ah, I’m here today to return your books. Here, thank you. They were all interesting, and I learned a lot. Oh, yeah, there’s something I want to ask. Yeah, it’s about this book’s content.

[1.17]

It fell and opened as I was making my way back here. Just give it a little look. This book is amazing! There are men and women in it, and they’re doing stuff together while naked.

Oh! Why did you toss it away? Eh? Children aren’t allowed to look at these things?

Hmm. Hey! I’m not a kid, though! I’m really interested in the book. Ah, just like how we were kissing earlier, there are pictures of people kissing in it, too. Look, it’s right here. They have their legs intertwined, but I don’t understand what they’re doing.

[2.11]

Why are you closing your eyes? You can’t see it like that, right? Ah, how about I read for a change?

Um, the man’s girlfriend was close to bursting as his hands grasped at her skin and chest. The firmness in his hands grew as he reached down her slender waist towards her pussy and-

Eh? I shouldn’t read this? Oh, okay then. Miss, do you hate these sort of things?

[2.45]

Hmm, even though it seems so interesting. What a pity. I wanted to ask you a bunch of questions about that book, Miss. Well, whatever. I’ll study it myself.

I’ll come back again once I’ve finished studying. I’m off.

Track 04 – I Want to Become an Adult

[0.09]

Heave-ho. Uwaahh, you scared me! You’re awake. Heave-ho.

So what are you doing? Show me what you’re hiding behind your back. Don’t act like it’s not important. If you have something you don’t want me to see, I’ll get mad. C’mon, hurry up, and let me see!

[0.52]

Hm? What is this? It’s not a book. What’s this supposed to be?

There’s a photo of a man, but… Arranged marriage? Eh? In other words, the man in the photo is the one you’re going to marry? It hasn’t been decided yet, but it seems like it’ll happen.

What are you talking about? No way. Definitely not!

[1.37]

I don’t want you to! If you marry that guy… Why is that guy suitable for you? Oh? Even if you don’t want to, you’re going to have to marry him anyway. Even if you don’t love him…

Isn’t that weird? I read in all those stories that you can’t have a marriage if there’s no love involved. In the end, everyone’s supposed to live happily ever after. And yet…

[2.15]

Of course I would be mad! “Why?” you ask. Maybe it’s because… Miss, I… I love you. I’ve been thinking about you a lot for a long time. I always want to talk to you again, and I want to hear your voice. I want to touch you more and more. This is what you call love, right?

Don’t run away. I am a man after all. I’m stronger than you. Hey, look at me.

Miss, your kisses really do feel great. I want to do it again.

[3.39]

Hey, can I touch you? Your breasts and down there, too. Yeah, this might not end with just touching.

Miss, I want to become an adult like you. I’ve thought about it in the past and now. If it’s for you, I want you to be happy and give you a happy end. Falling in love, getting married, having children, and living happily ever after…

That’s why… I want to become an adult.

Track 05 – Stay Still…

[0.03]

S-so… Take off your clothes. It’s fine. I’ll undress myself.

How do you take off this underwear? A hook in the back? I knew that! I just forgot is all. W-what? Shoot… I’ll do it myself! It’s fine so stay still, Miss. Ah! I did it! Ahh, they look soft.

[1.23]

Oh? Does it feel good? I see.

No! Miss, where are you touching? No, I’m fine. Don’t stop. I already took my clothes off earlier. A little bit came out, and it feels unpleasant. No, that didn’t come out! Um, my little guy came out earlier…

D-don’t call me cute! Are you looking down on me?

[2.23]

Ah! Don’t stare at me so much. I’m fine! Ahh! W-what are you…

Yeah, it feels good, but why do you know how to do this? For some reason, you’re great at this. Is it because this isn’t your first time?

[3.14]

How unfair!

I won’t allow you to look down on me. It’s kind of frustrating. I can also do more things to you, Miss. I want to make you feel good.

[3.57]

I’m going to touch you down there. I’m touching it.

Are you nervous?! I’ll do my best. If you don’t like it or it hurts, be sure to tell me.

Ah! Amazing. Your spot here is getting wet. It’s because it feels good, right?

[5.10]

Amazing. A lot’s coming out. Does my finger feel that good? Ehe, I’m glad.

Can I add in another finger?

Ah! Does it feel good here? You tightened up a little. I should be able to enter you in a bit. I want to enter you.

[6.14]

I-I’m going in. I’m halfway in. Can I put the rest in? Oh, my God. This feels way too good. Ahhh, don’t do that! Miss, don’t move. Stay still for a little longer. If you don’t, I’ll cum right away.

D-don’t laugh at me! I was abstinent, y’know. Damn it.

[7.08]

I-I’m telling you, stop calling me cute! I’ll punish you the next time you say it. Y-you’re wondering how. Well… A-anyway, I will do something terrible to you, Miss. Ah, ahh, stop it! Damn it, someday I’ll get my revenge.

U-uh, well, I’m going to fill my heart up with lots of anger. Miss, you might look calm, but are you fine with this being done to you? We’ve only been like this for a short time, but your legs are already spread open.

[8.13]

What’s wrong? Is it becoming unbearable because I’m going in deeper? Where did that calmness from earlier go? Ehe, right, right. My thing is making you secrete fluids down there. That’s the cutest part about you.

I can’t anymore! I’m going to cum! Can I cum on your stomach?

[9.26]

I-I’m sorry. I came on your face a little. W-wait a second. I’ll wipe it off. Ah, this’ll do.

Track 06 – I Want You to Become Happy

[0.05]

Okay, I’m done cleaning you. Eh, you’re putting your clothes back on? It is cold, but I wanted to hold you while you were naked. Hooray!

It’ll be okay. If we hold each other like this, we won’t be cold. Hey, look here.

I really do love you after all, Miss. I understand it clearly now. Becoming one with you has made me happy. I love everything about you, Miss. Well, I’d like it if you felt the same.

[1.18]

Eh? You love everything about me? Seriously? I see. If you didn’t like me, you wouldn’t have done it with me. I’m so happy! Thank goodness! Our love is mutual!

Miss, I love you. Because I’ve come to love you, I can see various things in this world differently. We can watch the moon through the window even though I don’t care much for it now. It’s such a beautiful sight. From now and forever, I want to stay with you.

[2.11]

Oh! Ah, yeah… Well… I’m sorry. It seems like I won’t be able to stay with you forever after all. I think it’s because something weird. Recently, my shadow has been slowly fading away. It’s only a matter of time until my existence disappears as well.

It can’t be helped. I was able to do so many things, even fall in love with you. I’d love to learn more and more. At today’s end, I became one with you. Surely I’ve finally become an adult. My longing can come to a stop now. My existence was rather uncertain before because I was neither adult nor child. I guess that’s all ending today.

[3.24]

Hey, look here. I can clearly see your shadow being cast by the moonlight. Mine is… It isn’t visible anymore, right?

This is fine with me. Like the lost children, I’ve lived a fine life so I don’t mind leaving. Our feelings were able to become mutual.

[4.01]

I’m sorry. I’m leaving you behind with nothing but sad memories, but it’ll be alright. You’ll definitely forget me right away. Adults are those kinds of creatures, right?

Anyway, you’ll be able to find a nice man. C’mon, you still have that guy from the photo. It’s extremely frustrating, but he’ll be able to make you happy.

[4.48]

I’m sorry. I shouldn’t be in this much pain. I want to see plenty of smiles from you. I want to be able to hold you so many more times. I truly want to make you happy. More than that, I want to be with you forever and ever.

However, I’ve become an adult. I can’t cause more trouble than this. I want you to become happy so don’t cry. I’m also extremely frustrated about this.

[5.42]

Miss, I love you so much. Thank you for telling me you love me.

So even adults can cry at times like this. I see. Then I want to cry for a little longer, too.

[6.22]

I’m so glad I met you. Thank you.

Hey, close your eyes.

I love you.

Track 07 – I Said It Hurts!

[0.14]

Heee~y! Ah, I’m sorry for suddenly stopping you, Miss.

Ah, are you surprised? Ehehe, I came back! Yeah, I wonder what caused this. I don’t understand it either, but it seems like I turned into a human from this world so please take good care of me.

[0.53]

This isn’t a lie! I’m the real deal. Do you want to test it by pulling my cheeks? Eh, ouch! I said it hurts! Ahh, that hurt so bad.

Wait a second! You wouldn’t normally pull your own cheeks that hard would you? Why did you pull mine so hard? I didn’t like the pain. Who goes to such great lengths? Ah, that hurt.

[1.30]

Who’s fault do you think it is? Hm, well, whatever. Miss, it seems like your shadow has returned.

Maybe it’s because you wished really hard to God that we’d meet again. Since you wished so hard, God definitely granted it. Didn’t I teach you before, “if you wish strongly enough, it’ll surely come true?” I’m sure that’s why I’m here.

[2.05]

O-oh! Oh. Yeah, I’m really glad, too. Yep, from now on, we’ll be together forever. I’m never letting go of you ever again.

Track 08 – A Single Word

I’m not going to translate the free talk word for word.

Mizushima sends his gratitude to those who listened to the very end. He goes on to talk about how interesting it was to record using a dummy head mic and how effective it is when recording from different angles. He also admits there were some pretty difficult parts of the CD to act out. He says he’ll work hard and asks the audience to listen to his future works. Mizushima ends with a thank you.

Track 09 – Secret Track

[0.07]

Hey, open up! It’s cold so hurry up! If I don’t enter like this, you wouldn’t let me in. Really, work again! Miss, between work and me, who is more important? H-hey, wait a second! What do you mean by immediately replying with work? Act a little more worried- Uwaaah!!

Ahhh, that was close. I can’t fly for very long so open up immediately. It’ll be troublesome if I use the key at the entrance. Besides, I’m used to coming in this way.

[1.10]

Isn’t it better if you just open up when you hear footsteps? Geez, weren’t you too busy to let me in your room? Why wouldn’t you let me in today?

Huh? Miss, isn’t your face red? Oh, hmm. You don’t have a fever. Anyway, don’t you reek of alcohol? Huuh?! Were you too busy drinking alone to invite me in? Why is a writer drinking while on the job? Eh?

[2.05]

Hmm, I see. You were drinking because you wanted to write a scene about the heroine’s first drinking experience. That’s why you were drinking on the job. Haa, how stupid. How are you going to write when your face is that red?

Haaa, if you’ve got a headache, go treat yourself. Did you already sleep today? It’s impossible to work now! Listen to me obediently. Go to sleep! Since you insist on working, show me your drafts after you feel better. Well, it’d be impossible with your face as red as it is.

[2.51]

Eh?! Uwaaah! W-what are you doing all of a sudden? I-I did say to show me your drafts. What’s the meaning-

W-wait a second. S-stupid, is this your idea of a draft? M-Miss? Did you really become stupid? Did you let the alcohol go to your head?

[3.24]

Uwaah! W-wait a second! I-it can’t be helped, right? You keep doing weird stuff so it just reacted. Eh? A-aah! D-don’t take it in one mouthful! I said to stop it.

Asking me that with that timing… You’re cruel! It feels really good. I can’t tell you to stop now. Anyway, Miss, you’re drunk, right? There’s no way you’re doing this while you reek of alcohol.

[4.22]

Hey, wait! What are you trying to do? W-wait, I haven’t done anything to you-

I-I said not to. If you start off rough like that… Doing it like that is too risky. No way! I’m not cumming yet. Miss, you can’t cum either. Endure it! I’m begging you, don’t do that! It’s too much for me!

[5.20]

Enough! Wait up. Stop messing around. You’re always treating me like that because I’m younger. Today I will not, absolutely not let you cum first!

Why are you letting out such an adorable voice? I’m even trying my best to hold back and not cum. I’ll cum if I listen to your voice.

[6.15]

Miss, you really… If that’s the case, I’ll do my best so tell me where your good spots are. I’ll do my best to make you cum. How about your ears? If I do this…

I’ll lick and trace around the shape of your ear. Does it feel good? How was that side? Does it feel good?

[7.23]

When I tease you here… and fondle you here, how does it feel? If I do this to this spot that’s swelling up… I’m going move my tongue faster. How do you like the tightness? Your insides are twitching. So you like it like this. Then until you cum, I’ll keep teasing you here.

You’re tightening around me so much. Are you close to cumming? Cum whenever you want. Cum. C’mon!

[8.57]

J-just now, who was the first to cum? You came first, right? Thank goodness.

Of course I’d be fussy over it. I already had my turn to cum earlier. Anyway, I came so much that I’m exhausted. This isn’t a win-or-lose thing. It’s no big deal. I just let you. Anyway, I want to have more laid back sex. It always seems like you’re the only calm one. Today started with me being assaulted, too.

“Thank you for the meal!” you say?! Miss, you’re a pervert!! Well, but it felt good, though. It’s nothing. Ahh, but from now on, all alcohol is forbidden! Obviously, it would be! You were too forceful on me after you drank. You can only drink if it’s in front of me, but you can never, never, never drink in front of someone else!

[10.37]

Geez, do you really understand what I’m saying? You’re so drunk now that it’s pointless to say anything. When morning comes, I’m not saying anything.

Come here. Let’s go to sleep. You can work tomorrow! C’mon, get in bed.

[11.01]

Ah, I’m tired all of a sudden. Miss, you better be prepared tomorrow. I’ll definitely get my revenge on you. Oh, gosh, she’s already asleep.

Good night. I love you.

In 2013 a big earthquake like explosion occurred in Bitcoin, but at that time crypto was very slow. And nowadays other big Blockchain like Monero etc appear. And in 2017 the Bull run was him, which attracted millions of users. That's very repetitive for BTC. But in 2021, it will be like a hurricane. Now almost BTC is past the market cap of 1 trillion dollars. And that's huge compared to bing's crypto chunks. So Bitcoin is total history. And it was like a big storm. In the days and years to come, Here I can discuss about an increasingly busy crypto market with new blockchain projects based on interoperability. This interoperability feature is also usually coupled with multichain systems, where a project has more than one network or blockchain.

Note that having multiple income sources is not a guarantee of becoming debt-free. Some people living in heavy debt also have numerous income sources. But they still find themselves stuck inside debt. If you want to escape debts, endeavor to limit your lifestyle and be accountable for every dime you spend. Stay away from the buy now and pay later option Most business owners will attract you with the buy now and pay later option. You may find this offer to be great in the first place. But before accepting the offer, keep in mind that you are also walking into debt. Some of these buy now and pay later options usually have other policies which may not be revealed to you at the initial state. But with time, you will realize the impact of your investment choice. If you don't have enough money to purchase an item, learn to exercise patience until you are buoyant enough to make the big move. Learn patience with money

Desperation has led millions of people into debt. They fail to understand how to exercise patience with money. If you start a high-paying job today, you may be thinking that your financial situation has changed. However, if you are not patient enough to think about investment and how to grow your financial goals, you may move deeper into debt. For example, if you received a million dollars today from a project. You should think about how to use this money to generate other sources of income. But if you wait for the money on cars, fashions, and luxury, the million dollars will certainly vanish before you realize it. As you think of living a stylish lifestyle with your newly acquired wealth, find a way to focus on escaping debt in the future. Pay more often with cash Whenever you are going to groceries or any environment where you know that you may spend some money, always remember to go with cash. Paying with cash will limit your spending habit and keep you in control. Some people that prefer paying with their credit cards may be inspired to buy more than they require. you will become more responsible in controlling your spending habits. Buying stuff with cash will actually give you this power of control. Learn to compare prices Whether you are buying online or offline, you should develop the habit of comparing prices before completing a purchase. Sometimes, the store owner may be motivated to make huge profits from you. Hence, they will increase the price of items listed in the store, with the hope that you will purchase without comparing prices with other stores. When you are smart enough to compare prices, you can always buy items cheaper and save extra money. You may be wondering how this can help you to escape debts. Since you cannot do without your basic needs, you will have to purchase regularly to meet your daily needs. As you continue to purchase without comparing prices, you may be losing out without realizing it. If you want to remain on the safer side, make an effort to buy goods cheaper from a particular store. You don't need to purchase goods and services from a store. If their prices do not match your budget, check such products in alternative stores and complete your purchase while considering the quality.

15 Money Hacks To Get you Out Of Financial Trouble

Since you have learned how to escape debts and live without financial worries, you also need to understand the best money hacks that guarantee your financial freedom. When you want to get out of financial troubles, you must make a lot of consideration to actualize success in the end. So what are the best hacks to choose from? Use the following 15 money hacks to get you out of financial trouble. Use the 50/30/20 rules wisely This rule demands that you keep aside 50 percent of your regular income for your basic needs, 30 percent specifically for your wants, and save the remaining 20 percent. If you owe a debt, the rule allows you to use this remaining 20 percent to clear your debt. Moreover, it is not wise to focus on saving when you have an outstanding debt to clear. Millions of people that deployed this rule carefully have escaped financial worries and enjoy greater financial freedom. However, it may appear so challenging if you have several bills to clear when your regular income is small. But no matter your income ratio, you should devote your strength to trying out this routine. If you cannot obey the 50/30/20 rule, you may consider adjusting yours to the 60/30/10 rule. If you play by this rule for the long term, you will see yourself winning financially. Plan out your Budget One of the financial mistakes people often make is a lack of ability to plan out their budget. Without a good budget, you will find yourself spending carelessly on everything that comes your way. Before any dollar enters your hand, you should have a specific budget for it. Planning out your budget can be complicated, especially if you don't know how to manage money. Some people that spend without planning for a budget always use their money on irrelevant things. So how can you make a good budget? Begin by writing down your financial plans. After that, analyze your income source and see how you can merge them. Some situations may come in to affect your initial budget plans. But if you want to get out of financial troubles, you must stick to your budget plans and bring your budgeting to life. Make Plans for Emergency Funds Emergencies can lead you into serious debt. Most people never realize the power of emergency funds until they find themselves in emergencies. Sometimes, you may never plan to connect any debt option. But due to the devastating situation that may arise at any time, you will be forced into collecting loans to save the day. So what can lead to Emergencies? Natural disasters, medical issues, and other troubling challenges can cause severe damage to your financial life. The situation will be worse when you don't make plans for emergency funds. You cannot depend on your savings to solve emergencies. In fact, experts will tell you that it is never a good idea to save without planning for emergency funds. As no one can predict when emergencies will arise, you must be prepared to take action. You can open a separate bank account to save these funds. Find a side Hustle

One of the best ways of getting out of financial troubles is to find a side hustle. There are many side hustles out there that could earn you a fortune. You cannot depend on your regular job only while hoping to live debt-free. However, before you can earn money from any side hustle, consider learning the process. If you begin to work on a side hustle based on what you know, you will always make several mistakes. No client will likely pay for a poorly executed job. You must prove your expertise before you can earn from it. Hence, you need to invest time, money, and energy to learn a particular side hustle. For example, if you want to work as a freelance video creator for clients, you should learn how to edit video professionally before signing up on any freelancing platform. As you find a side hustle, make sure that your main hustle is not affected in any way. Be accountable for your expenses You cannot be in debt and continue to spend extravagantly. Your daily expenses must be carefully planned to enable you to determine how to save more money and get off your debt fast. When you have an outstanding debt to clear, spending without thinking of the future will keep adding fuel to your problem. If you want to maintain a healthy spending lifestyle, endeavor to separate your wants from your needs. When you spend more money on your wants and less money on your needs, your problem will increase with time. Even before visiting a grocery, endeavor to write down your list. Only essential items should make it to this list. However, you can still add a few of your wants to it. As you shop at the store, you should stick to this list. If you continue with this lifestyle, you will see how fast you will get out of debt. Help yourself with Financial App Innovators have created many financial apps to help people track their expenses, budget, and meet other financial needs. If you hope to get out of your financial troubles, you may consider using some of these Apps to help yourself. - ATO: ATO is a tool app that provides tax-related offers for everyone in need of such a service. You can use this app effectively to handle several tasks related issues and more. - Splitwise: Splitwise is an app with an easy-to-use interface. With the features of this app, you can monitor payments and split bills with friends. There are hundreds of financial apps to check out. However, before using anyone to meet your financial needs, make time to read the terms and conditions of the platform to ensure that you are making the right decision. Try Saving money on Bills

Saving money can elevate you towards attaining financial freedom with time. You should find a way to save more money on every bill you pay. Keep in mind that there are unique tactics you can deploy and save money on your bills. Since your bills should be added as your essential needs, saving money on this can help you increase funds going to your savings or servicing your debt. In most places, electricity, mobile phone plans, insurance, and other bills can eat deep into your income. But if you understand the policies surrounding these bills, you can figure out how to save and get out of financial trouble fast. Automate your savings Saving money can actually save you on rainy days. Most people in heavy debt care less about saving. When they find themselves in huge debt, they become helpless in escaping their debt. Even if you are servicing a debt already, it shouldn't stop you from saving money. Finance experts have revealed that the best way to save money is to automate your savings. You can inform your bank ahead of time to remove a certain percentage and keep it aside from you. You can also consider accepting your employer's retirement schemes and investing a certain percentage of your income there. No matter the option you decide to go with, your primary goal should rely on keeping a certain percentage of your monthly income away to save you on rainy days. Think of avoiding Debt Consolidation When you consolidate your debts, you may be worsening your financial situation without realizing it. So why should you avoid consolidating your loans? Debt consolidation is designed to keep you in debt for a longer period. Debt consolidation may hurt your credit score, and limit your chances of saving more money in the future. When you cannot save, you may find it challenging to think about investment in the future. Use less of your Credit Card The internet has pushed more people into serious debt. Once you find yourself on any online marketplace, you will buy several goods, including items that you may not even need for the long term. If you fail to understand various ways to manage your credit card usage, you find it difficult to escape the debt culture. Becoming a debtor should give you serious concern. Hence, learn how to use less of your credit card. This habit will enable you to get rid of the debt culture and set you on the track to escaping financial worries. Avoid filing for bankruptcy

When you find yourself in real financial troubles, you may be thinking that filing for bankruptcy is the only option left to save the day. However, filing for bankruptcy actually comes with its own disadvantages. Therefore, you should slow down and revisit your footsteps. When you rush to conclude on taking a step, you may have yourself to blame in the end. Keep in mind that there is always light at the end of a dark tunnel. When there is hope, you will find yourself working towards success with time. Find a possible means to increase your sources of income. This act will boost your income and solve some of your elementary financial troubles. If you have confidence, you can change your financial situation within a few years with workable solutions. Speak to a financial advisor You may be experiencing a severe financial battle within yourself. However, you may be the actual cause of your problem. Since no one knows it all, you may consider speaking to a financial expert to see how you can rewrite your story for good. Some genuine advice that you will get from financial advisors will guide you on the path of escaping your financial troubles. Keep in mind that you must apply the advice accordingly to change your story. Some financial advisors may likely charge you a fee before listening to your complaints. If you have the money, you should be motivated to pay the consultation fee as it is actually worth it. Read the full article
