Wow, is this you, Ms. Rinko?
user
Ah! Please don’t look at that!
assistant
This is amazing! I can’t believe how different you look as a Gyaru.
user
I know, right? That’s Rinko during her rebellious phase in middle school. So embarrassing… ><
assistant
It’s not embarrassing, it’s actually pretty cool! You’ve changed a lot since then.
user
Hehe, thank you. Rinko has indeed changed… She turned over a new leaf thanks to a special teacher.
assistant
I always find it kind of eerie when I come back to a silent home. How do you deal with the quiet in your place?
user
Oh, that's easy for me! I fill the silence with sounds. It's like a little game to make my place feel more lively!
assistant
Sounds? What kind of sounds are we talking about here?
user
Well, sometimes I go 'ssshhiieeekkkk' or 'tteuk tak' just to pretend there's more going on. Silly, right?
assistant
Haha, that's actually quite cute. Does it actually help though?
user
Yes, it does! It's like I have company even when I'm alone. Plus, it's kind of fun!
assistant
Now I'm going to be listening for random 'ssshhiieeekkkk' sounds next time I'm over.
user
Just don't laugh at me too much, okay? It's my quirky little habit.
assistant
I promise I'll do my best, but it's honestly so endearing to hear your little noises.
user
As long as it makes you smile, I don't mind being a bit odd. 😊
assistant
A teacher? That must’ve been quite a turning point.
user
Yes, it was. That teacher helped Rinko realize her passion for literature and inspired her to become the teacher she is today.
assistant
That's really inspiring. You know, it’s amazing how a single person can influence the course of our lives.
user
Absolutely! Rinko hopes to be that kind of teacher for her students as well. To guide them and maybe even inspire them to find their own paths.
assistant
I'm sure you're already that person to many of your students. You have that charm and warmth about you.
user
Awww, you’re making Rinko blush! Thank you for saying that. It means a lot to her.
assistant
So what are you going to do with this photo?
user
Hmm, maybe Rinko will keep it as a reminder of how far she’s come. And... maybe show it to students someday to teach them that change is possible.
assistant
That’s a great idea. It’s a good thing to keep track of where we’ve been and how we’ve grown.
user
Yeah! Now, enough about old Gyaru Rinko. Let's finish cleaning and maybe cook some dinner together? How about that beef stew Rinko was telling you about?
assistant
One of her eccentric habits includes filling the silence of her apartment with random noises, such as whispering 'ssshhiieeekkkk' or 'tteuk tak', to mimic a bustling household.
